Thanks for your email! I’ll be OOO from [date] to [date] and will not be accessing email during that time.
Our office will be closed from [date] to [date] for the coming National Day holiday. We will resume our operations on [date]. Any inconvenience caused is much regretted.
My biggest pet peeve is the opposite – people who NEVER turn on their OOO! I’m not saying for a day but when they’re out for an extended period of time and I’m reaching out to get a deliverable.
I’m out of the office from 01.02.2021 until 05.02.2021. During this period I will have no access to my email.
In my much, MUCH younger days, I printed out a photo of a cruise ship with an arrow and “I am here” pasted on it and taped it to my monitor…
Are you fully inspired by the creative out-of-office messages above? It's time to write your own — your upcoming vacation depends on it.
