Although U.S. experts were convinced the message from Khrushchev was authentic, hope for a resolution was short-lived. The next day, October 27, Khrushchev sent another message indicating that any proposed deal must include the removal of U.S. Jupiter missiles from Turkey. From Christmas Day 2011, the Holidays Act 1983 provides for an extra public holiday to be added when Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day falls on a weekend. Australia Day public holiday – if 26 January is a Saturday or Sunday, the public holiday is to be observed on the following Monday. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! May it bring you joy, happiness and everything else you deserve. It's the time of eggnog, candles, cakes, songs, reindeer, carols, laughter – and most importantly LOVE.

Rather than a number of days or vague phrasing like “this week,” giving exact dates helps prevent confusion and lets senders know when they can expect a response from you.
If you’re out for several days, then sure, say when you’ll be back and leave info for who to contact in the meantime.
I’m on a couple of mandatory company-wide email lists. None of these ever have pertinent information, but they’re required.
1. Order before [DATE] and have it shipped on time for [holiday name] Ideally, your promotional campaign should have been running for at least a week before the holiday festivity begins.
If you centre-align that it resembles a Christmas tree, and I coloured the font accordingly :D
But this is where it becomes a power thing. The OOO person says that everyone else wants stuff from them that the sender can’t get elsewhere and you need to grovel to get it from them.
People often forget the power of an out of office message. One could even start their own language, as shown below:
Thanks for your email. I’m currently attending [insert event, conference etc here], and will return on [date of return].
In your case it’s actually related to your work! WHOMST would not like a cute pet picture, what a bonus?!
Note: Sending automatic replies to anyone outside my organization will send your automatic reply to every email, including newsletters, advertisements, and potentially, junk email. If you want to send automatic replies to those outside your organization, we recommend choosing My contacts only.
A great out of office message can improve your business relationships, boost appointments and keep everything in check while you’re resting. The only trick is knowing how to write it. So what’s an out of office message and why do I need one?

I’ll be enjoying this year’s holiday season from [DATE] until [DATE]. For general inquiries about [DEPARTMENT/ROLE], please email [CONTACT NAME]. If this isn’t time sensitive, feel free to resend this email in [MONTH] once I’m regularly checking emails again. All the best.
I think this is great. A little too long, but it would work well as an internal reply in a large office with the right kinda culture. I’m imagining how useful it would be in my previous office with 300+ people that always had some “fire” or another to put out. I also appreciate how it protects the sender’s time off–at no point does it say “ok, fine. contact me.”
You can also schedule your auto replies ahead to send at a specific time for a set it and forget it solution.
This works fine but I notice it also adds after your auto-responder at the bottom an option for them to reply “urgent” to ensure I receive notifications which seems damn pointless if you ask me. Is there a way to switch that off because it seems to be counter-intuitive to setting the auto-responder that you’re not there or on leave? Thanks Trace
