I will be back to the usual tea and crumpets when I return to the office on [DAY OF WEEK], [DATE]. If you have an urgent query about [BUSINESS] before then, please don’t hesitate to contact [NAME] in my absence. [EMAIL]. Thanks so much.

I also appreciate how it protects the sender’s time off–at no point does it say “ok, fine. contact me.”
When people leave first name contact only as if we’re supposed to know who Susan or Frank are..

The message will be automatically triggered in response to any incoming text received while the away message is turned on. Like this:
I’d then check off all that applied—people would laugh each time they saw it bc I’m such a predictable nerd, one or both of the first two lines was almost always checked off…and usually both!
