Away From the Office Email
If you are looking to take some time off work then it is vital to inform your clients well in advance. Furthermore, make sure there is no confusion in the date and time of your return and how any questions or queries will be answered in your absence.
Your away from office email should ideally use the minimum amount of words. It should be clear and to the point to avoid any confusion. Take your time to ensure you hit the mark.
Knowing the exact format of such email can help you save valuable time and makes things a lot simpler. In the opening paragraph of the email, provide the details of when you are leaving. Provide your contact details in second paragraph so the customer/client/colleague can contact you if required.
Do not forget to ensure that you use the right contact email addresses of the recipients. Also, choose a catchy and an effective subject line for your email.
