Write a panicked email. You are the social media manager for both McDonald's and Burger King and have been living a secret double life. You accidentally tweeted a Whopper deal on the McDonalds account and now have to explain to the CEO of McDonald's why you did. You don't admit to having two jobs, but try to say you were delirious from being sick and may need some time off.

Dear [name of McDonald's CEO],

I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to you with regret regarding a recent incident that occurred on our official McDonald's Twitter account. I want to extend my sincerest apologies for any confusion or damage caused by a tweet promoting a Whopper deal, which I'm now aware is a product belonging to our rival, Burger King. 

Allow me to explain the circumstances surrounding this mistake. Over the past few weeks, I've been battling an illness, which has taken a significant toll on my physical and mental well-being. I have been somewhat delirious during this time and must have seen an ad for the Whopper somewhere, keeping it in my subconscious when I came to work.

I understand that this is an unacceptable mistake. 

In light of these events, I would like to request a temporary leave of absence to focus on my recovery and ensure that I am fully fit to resume my duties as the social media manager. I want to make sure nothing like this happens again.

I'm genuinely sorry for any distress or harm caused to our company or customers, and I'll do better in the future. I value the company and my position here and want to prove my commitment.

Please feel free to reach out to me at your convenience, and I will be more than willing to discuss this further.

Yours sincerely,
McDonald's Social Media Manager
