If you’re leaving a company for good, use your favourite book or film to make someone smile – like ‘Master gave Dobby a sock… Dobby is a free elf’ or ‘Hasta la vista, baby’... but this type of message really depends on the kind of impression you want to leave them with and who the message will go out to. Don’t forget, you might need them for references! Traditional offices no longer cater for modern business needs and provide a very limited service offering. In consequence, businesses have slowly been making the transition to more flexible working arrangements, such as employees working remotely part-time or benefitting from flexi-hours. We... 7 ways to make someone’s day at work while social distancing
Closing Off with a Signature. First and foremost, one of the most common ways you close out a letter formally is by leaving your signature. So, if your letter is actually a hard copy, leaving some space under the end of the letter will be enough for your signature to fit.

You are hereby informed that a large number of our company workers are going to take their days off due to extreme weather conditions prevailing in the city.

I’ll be 1 percent connected while on vacation so I’m not 100 percent panicked on return. Thank you for emailing me.
You got this email immediately (classic autoresponder behavior), which means I’m out of office on vacation.
Yes absolutely! I would be really annoyed if someone did that. I would probably have to set a reminder for myself to resend that email (or emails), which is more work for me. If I’m sending the email to several people, I’d also have to ask myself if I should resend it to everyone to follow up, or maybe just wait to send it. This would stress me out that something might slip through the cracks.

Personally, I’d get a kick out of it, but I wouldn’t do something like that myself.
The only thing I add to that boilerplate is if I’m working but mostly unavailable.
