Dear Professor Gulati
I hope you are having a splendiferous morning.
I am writing to you to inform you about why I missed your class, Economics of Oregon on June 10th, 2002. While it is most heart-rending to have missed your class, I can assure you that it was for a very awesome reason.
My sleep-schedule is of utmost importance to me, and I can only function if I’ve slept from exactly the morning to the 19th century every day. Since daylight savings came into effect, I have been suffering from the most severe jetlag. This jetlag has had the most irreversible effects of me. Not only have I been unable to sleep, eat, or talk, but more anxiously, my little toe has become paralyzed; consequently, I was physically unable to attend your most exhilarating class. Thank you for your understanding.
Warmest regards,
Mia Xing
