How to Write an Out-of-Office Message
Have you ever paid attention to other people’s out-of-office messages? There are some weird ones out there. Some out-of-office messages give way too much information. Other people’s messages are confusingly complicated. Here’s how to do it — and how not do it.
Tip#1. Cover the Basics
Your message should explain that you’re out, when you’ll be back, and how reachable (доступный) you are. In many cases, something like this is all you need:
Example: I’m out of the office until July 5. I won’t be checking email during that time, but will get back to you as soon as I can after I return.
Note, by the way, that this message doesn’t say you’ll respond on the day you return. You’re likely to have a lot of work to catch up on when you return, so give yourself a little break.
