　　march 17th 2003

　　dear mr john,

　　i am sorry to tell you that i can't go to school. i haven't been well since this morning and my mother took me to the hospital. after taking my temperature, the doctor said that i was having a high fever and had a bad cold. he told me to take some medicine on time, drink more water and stay in better for two days. i am worrying about my lessons i've missed. would you pls help me with my lessons when i come back to school?

　　best wishes to you!

　　yours.
