Oh shoot. You need something and Iâm unavailable today. Hereâs the good news: you have options.
If you are planning to head out on vacation or step away from your office for a few days- creating an out of office autoresponder email message is essential (and even more important for email
.
Therefore, if your email truly is urgent and you need a response while Iâm on vacation, please forwarded it to my personal email [email] and Iâll try to respond to it promptly. If you think someone else at [company] might be able to help you, please contact [name] at [email] or [phone], and theyâll try to point you in the right direction. Otherwise, Iâll respond when I return.
Thank you for emailing me. I am currently out of the office, with no email access. I will be returning on [DATE]. If you need immediate assistance before then, you may reach me at my mobile [PHONE]. Kind Regards.
Going beyond being formal and functional with your messages, you can also add a note of festive mood to your email if you feel like being creative. To this purpose, you can adopt a lighter tone, while referencing the holiday in question.
It was a commodities trading firm. I still barely know what they do. But, I would answer the phone, listen to whatever they said, understand not much and then I would say âlemme put you on holdâ and then I would turn to the nearest person not on the phone and Iâd say something dumb like âTheyâre calling about likeâŠsalt maybe?â And then Iâd transfer to that person and they would figure out who it went to. (They all knew who was trading what that day. Nobody ever told me.)
Oh hey, Itâs Christmas, what are you doing emailing me? Iâm extremely busy watching Home Alone, Die Hard, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Christmas Special on repeat until the new year. I might stop for food and toilet breaks, I also might now. Regardless of my general health and hygiene over the silly season, Iâll be back in office on January nd. Catch ya then, donât forget to buy a pepperoni pizza for Splinter.
I think people still understand that out of office can refer to home office as well. But you could say âunavailableâ or âaway from workâ.
