It has been one week since you asked for leave because of your bad cold. We are all concerned about you. Here are some suggestions which can help you get better. First, it‘s essential for you to drink lots of water and have a good rest. Whenever I catch a cold, I have a good sleep, which always makes my cold disappear quickly. What‘s more, you can benefit from a healthy diet. Eating light food instead of junk food will help you recover faster. I‘m sure you will recover and be with us soon if you follow my suggestions. Yours, Li Hua
