How Do I Create a Leave Certificate for a Colleague's Insurance Claim? Seeking Guidance!

Dear Seniors,

One of my colleagues was unwell and has been hospitalized for approximately one week due to his illness.

Since my company already has his insurance details, I have asked him to provide me with all the necessary documents, which I will then submit to the insurance company for reimbursement on his behalf.

The insurance company is now requesting a "Leave Certificate" from me. I am unsure of how to create a leave certificate. Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
