But that sounds boring, right? Luckily, there are ways to spice up your OOO message by adding humor in just the right places.
That said, be careful with messages that are this curt. Make sure you’re familiar enough with your audience — and your boss, for that matter — to know that this sort of out-of-office message will be met with a snicker, and not with annoyance.

Usually “I’m OOO from X to X, please contact X for (reason)” should suffice.

Thank you for your email. I’m out of the office and will be back at (Return Date). During this period I will have limited access to my email.
My colleagues have this weird habit of not using out of office messages, but instead, sending all staff or all manager emails before they go on vacation letting everyone know they’re going to be gone for x amount of time. It’s really odd. I do not do this.
