How do end my brother's sick note, without sounding like a teenager pretending to be an adult?

Question

I've always sucked at writing letters. My younger brother lives with me, and I am his guardian, but I don't want to sound like a 14 year old pretending to be a mom in the letter. My brother missed school on Friday, because he was sick. This is what I wrote so far, but I'm not sure how to end it off. Oh yeah, don't tell em to get my mother or something to write it because she doesn't even live with us. lol...

Answer 4

How can you be a guardian when you're not an adult? Maybe you're just being a babysitter, and in that case you're still not an adult. A sick note is a "doctor's prescription or note" and it doesn't come from you if it's past the date he missed school.

Please allow me these edits:

To Whom it May Concern:
Please excuse my brother (of whom I am legal guardian), Douglas Crestlock (ID Number...) for his absence on Friday, December 1, 2006. He had a mild fever on Thursday, which worsened greatly on Friday. Please allow him to make up all assignments he missed. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at (###) ###-####.
Sincerely,
Your Name

(If you go to his school, then tell them they may call you out of class to answer their questions.)

I added the legal guardian part because the school will need to be reminded, even though it is in his record.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Quick and easy. If you are his guardian then you are allowed to write the note so don't worry about getting caught if it was a legitmate illness.

I think that notes fine, maybe even shorten it in the middle to say he had a fever and wasn't feeling well. - just end with something simple, like Thanks, and sign your name.

Answer 7

Hi! You sound fine ... you don't sound like a teenager pretending to be an adult.

Answer 8

Sounds good, I would write Thank you for your time, and sign your name.

Answer 9

I've always just ended it with:

Thank You,
Your Name

Answer 10

Keep it brief or briefer than that say Thanks and then just Initial it. The longer the letter the more likely to get caught.
