If your request is urgent, there’s no use sitting idly in my inbox. So please send your request to [Contact Name] at [contact email].

I am currently on my annual leave and will return to the office on *date*. If your request is urgent, please contact my colleague *name* at *email* or *phone*.

Unfortunately, literally every single thing in the world is an emergency in my office :(
