email writing for sick leave

[Neeko]

Hi, I would like to ask for your advice on whether the following email expression for informing supervisor on taking sick leave sounds rude and disrespect to the supervisor?

Dear xx,

I need to take a day sick leave today due to (sickness).

Best regards,
xxx

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please note my corrections above. Notwithstanding the fact that most companies require a phone call, rather than an email, in order to say that an employee is sick, I think your email is OK, if a bit curt. I would expect something like:

Dear [name of supervisor]

I'm sorry but I won't be able to come into work today because I have a cold/have a migraine/have been vomiting all night. I should be back tomorrow but I will let you know if I am still ill.

Regards
