By the way, BizzyWeb will be closed November 26-27, December 24-25 and January 1. We promise to only use professional and appropriate out-of-office messages, and to reply as soon as we are back in the office. Happy Holidays from the Hive!

It’s kind of a ridiculous OOO anyway since by the time I get it from you, I have already sent my email.
You can clarify that there’s a possibility that you’ll see the email before the return date, but you can’t guarantee it.
Please accept our apology for the inconvenience this may cause. We are thankful for your understanding.
