Dear ** committe:
I'm **'s father, my son was hospitalized for his injury since 2 weeks ago. So I send this mail on behalf of him.
It is his honor to have the chance to take part in the contest, and he also cherish this oppturnity and get well prepared for it. Unfortunately,a traffic accident 2 weeks ago made him hospitalized, since his hands was hurt, he need an additional week for recovery after he leave hospital.
Terribly sorry that he is unable to have the race, and I hope he will get another chance to take part in the contest again next year. Thanks.
Best wishes
