Dear Ms. Rabinowitz:

As per our phone conversation from this morning, I am officially submitting this letter to request a sick leave. I have already covered the details of this matter with you and my department manager and supervisors. I hope now we can get this matter processed quickly.

As you know, I have been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and will be undergoing surgery on August 14th. My medical team is telling me I will be incapacitated no less than six weeks afterwards. I have attached the necessary doctor’s notices and medical reports that human resources needs. I am also in the process of completing all the sick leave and disability paperwork. Once everything has been submitted, I hope to hear from my department that everything has been approved.

If you need any other verification or information about my sick leave, please let me know soon and I will accommodate you as quickly as possible. While I do expect to be back at work six weeks after my surgery, if more time is needed, I will contact both human resources and my department managers immediately. My overall desire is to minimize disruption to operations as much as possible.

I do know this is fairly late notice, but I hope you understand the circumstances were out of my control. I appreciate everyone’s prompt attention to this matter.

Yours respectfully,

Leonard G. Baynard
