Writing II

Read the email below and write a reply to Asmita Praja. Express your
sympathy and wish that she gets well soon.

Dear Salina,

I'm writing to explain to you that I can't attend the class for two weeks as
I've had an accident and hurt my back. I have already sent an email to the
principal and the class teacher to inform of my condition. I'm afraid I will
be missing the unit tests.
I have medicine for the pain but I can't get up or walk around much, and the
doctor said I should stay in bed and rest as much as possible. This makes
reading and studying very difficult for me at the moment. The doctor said
I may be able to do some bed reading and writing after a week.
Salina, if possible I need some help from you. I wonder if you could record
the lectures and class notes so that I can listen to them at home. I will try
to catch up with all the reading too. I have been given permission from the
principal.
I won’t bore you with details, except to say that I will be missing you all,
my friends and dear teachers. But just see it as a setback for a while-then
hopefully life will be normal again.

Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
Asmita Praja
