“Dear School: Please excuse John from being absent on Jan. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and also 33.”
“Please excuse Brian for being. It was his father’s fault.”
“Please excuse Sara for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot.”
“Sally won’t be in school a week from Friday. We have to attend her funeral.”
“Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it Monday, we thought it was Sunday.”
