Dear Ms.:
I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence from your oral english class this wednesday morning.
Yesterday evening i got a phone call from my cousin, who is now running a small firm in suburbs of this city . he needs an interpreter for two days but cannot find the most reliable person, so he wants me to have a try. personally , i regard this as a golden opportunity to put what i have learned in your class into practice, but i need your permission of absence . if you think i may go and help him get over the difficulty, I am confident that I ll do a good job and both of us will grateful.
Earnestly yours,
