Leave Letter for Fever: Samples for School and Office
Updated
A short leave letter for fever for school, college and office, with 10 samples, subject lines and a fill-in version you can print.
A leave letter for fever is a short, formal request to your class teacher, principal or manager for leave because you have a fever. It names the illness, the exact dates you will be absent and, for longer leave, mentions a medical certificate. Keep it under 120 words, write a clear subject line and send it on the first day of absence.
Below you will find the format, a fill-in version, 10 samples for students, parents and employees, and a quick guide on when you need a doctor’s certificate.
Key Takeaways
- Address the letter to the class teacher or principal for school, and to your reporting manager or HR for office.
- Use a subject such as “Application for leave due to fever”.
- Give the exact dates, for example “from 12 to 14 October 2026”.
- Attach or promise a medical certificate if the leave is longer than three days.
- Students close with “Yours obediently”; employees close with “Regards” or “Yours sincerely”.
Leave Letter for Fever Format
Every leave letter for fever has the same seven parts. The table shows what goes in each part for school and for office.
| Part | School or college | Office |
|---|---|---|
| Receiver | To, The Class Teacher / The Principal, school name, city | To, the reporting manager or HR, company name |
| Date | Date you write the letter | Date you send the email or letter |
| Subject | Application for leave due to fever | Sick leave request: fever (dates) |
| Salutation | Respected Sir/Madam, | Dear Mr./Ms. [Name], |
| Body | Name, class, roll number, illness, dates | Illness, dates, work handover, reachability |
| Proof | Medical certificate for 3+ days | Medical certificate as per leave policy |
| Closing | Thanking you. Yours obediently, name, class | Regards, name, employee ID |
How long should it be?
Keep the letter between 60 and 120 words. A teacher or manager reads dozens of such requests. Therefore, a short letter with dates and a reason gets approved faster than a long one.

When Do You Need a Medical Certificate?
Rules differ from school to school and company to company. However, most follow a similar pattern. Check your school diary or HR policy before you rely on the table below.
| Length of absence | School or college | Office |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 2 days | Parent’s letter is usually enough | Email to manager is usually enough |
| 3 days or more | Medical certificate often required | Medical certificate often required |
| Long illness (dengue, typhoid) | Medical and fitness certificate | Medical certificate and fitness certificate to rejoin |
| During exams | Medical certificate almost always required | Not applicable |
Board exams follow separate rules. For example, a student who misses a practical or internal assessment due to illness usually needs a medical certificate submitted through the school. Consequently, keep all prescriptions and test reports until the results are out.
Mistakes to Avoid
- No dates. “I am ill” without dates forces the teacher or HR to ask again.
- Too much detail. Mention “fever” or “viral fever”; you do not need to list every symptom.
- Wrong closing. Students write “Yours obediently”; parents and employees write “Yours sincerely” or “Regards”.
- Late submission. Inform on the first day. If you could not, submit the letter the day you rejoin.
- No handover at work. Name a colleague who will cover urgent tasks.
Fever Leave in Hindi
If your school prefers Hindi, the structure stays the same. Start with “सेवा में, कक्षा अध्यापिका महोदया”, write the subject “बुखार के कारण अवकाश हेतु प्रार्थना-पत्र” and close with “आपकी आज्ञाकारी शिष्या”. Our हिंदी पत्र section has more Hindi formats.
