Emails About Absence

Email 1:

Hey teach!

I need an extension on that paper that was due yesterday when I missed! I couldn't turn it in - my internet was down! How crazy is that?! I also need a pdf of the lecture notes I missed! Oh, and you must have entered a couple of my grades wrong, because I know for sure I should have an A!

Later!

Dear Dr. Walts,

Please pardon me for my absence today, my dad received a flat tire on his way to work and I am about to leave to go bring the spare to him, which will inevitably cause me to miss class today.

Since I will not be in class, I was wondering if there was a time I would be willing to meet with you to ask a few questions I had about the second page of the reading for today. I have work during your normal office hours, but I was hoping that I could come in early or stay after sometime this week so that I do not fall behind. I know we had a paper due today, and although I was able to upload it to Blackboard I can not hand it in today because I will not be in class. I was wondering if it would be okay to hand it in to you next class or when we meet, whichever comes first, without a late penalty given the circumstances.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Sincerely,

Michael Smith
