According to Article 17, Section 3, Subsection 2 of the Departmental Red Tape Regulations, an Excuse Appeal is a formal request to be excused from a meeting, deadline, or other bureaucratic obligation.
It is a carefully crafted document, filled with intricate details and justifications for one's absence.
For example:
Appendix A: The Flu Excuse (Page 3)
Appendix B: The Car Repair Excuse (Page 5)
Don't forget to attach a doctor's note, a mechanic's invoice, or a cleverly Photoshopped picture of your car on a lift.
