      That's not a given - some will want a face-to-face and some won't.

          OP, here's a template letter you can use:

          "Dear Mr <insert client name>

          Gym Beast will not be able to attend work tomorrow morning, as he has a poorly tummy

          Signed, my mum"
          Don't bother and just say your dog ate the note.
