Execute fill command relative to player

How can I execute the fill command relative to the player? If you are wondering why I am asking this, and for more information, reference my earlier question here: How to make a block disappear after a certain period of time Look to the bottom section for the info you want. Also, I don't want it to just fill the selected areas, I just want to replace wool with air.

To fill an area relative to the player, put the following code into a command block or your chat: /execute @<p,a,r,e> <x> <y> <z> /fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <block> 0 replace <blocktoreplace>. The p, a, r, and e are the selectors.

@p is as if you had typed the nearest players name in
@a is as if you had put everyone's name tag in
@r is as if you had put a random player's name in, and
@e is as if you had put every entity's ID in.

The first x, y, and z are the relative coordinates, meaning that they must have the symbol ~ before them, and are relative to the player. The next two sets of x y and z should also be relative otherwise there wouldn't be any use of using execute. The block is now used by it's name with minecraft: before it or what ever mod it comes from with a colon after meaning that items that have the same name won't override each other. The block to replace is just that, the block to replace.
