Dear [recipient's name]:
I am writing to request that my daughter, Molly Morton, be excused from basketball practice and games for the next month, because she is recovering from a serious illness and physical limitations. I would like her to be able to stay on the basketball team and be excused from participation just temporarily. Molly very much enjoys participating on the team and is disappointed that she must miss being part of the team during this time.
Please let me know if you need further details regarding this excuse. Also, please contact me as soon as possible to let me know whether this excuse has been granted. Thank you so very much for considering this request. I look forward to receiving your response.
Sincerely,
[Signature]
