I will be out of the office starting on (beginning date) and ending on (ending date).
Other than that, I keep it simple like most folks here, but back in my younger days I had one that started something like “I am out of the office on vacation until (date). I will not be checking emails, voicemails, (work queue system), or generally thinking about this place at all…”

One thing that happens when you regularly send a newsletter out to tens of thousands of people is that you see a lot of automatic Out Of Office (OOO) email responses.

Thanks!
I am on sick leave with no access to emails and phone calls. Hence, kindly expect a delayed response.
