Ms. Main and Mr. Arakkis,
I know I've only been working with both of you for a short time, and this is probably the worst time for me to ask for this. But I've just received a call from my aunt's friend back in Chicago, and my aunt was admitted to the hospital this morning. Apparently she broke her hip last night and she wasn't found until a few hours ago. [...] My uncle passed on a few years ago, so aside from friends, my aunt doesn't have anyone to help her out. Is it okay if I take some time off to go help her? I'll let you know as soon as I plan on returning, and I'll work double-time if you want me to.
Thanks,
Aaron

I'm going to be heading back to Chicago tonight. My aunt had an accident. Don't have too much fun while I'm gone.

I'll have to take a rain check on the party tonight, pizza girl. I'm sorry.
