Email auto reply out of office template

Here is a template for an out-of-office email auto-reply:

Subject: Out of Office - [Your Name]

Dear [Recipient],

I am currently out of the office and will be unavailable until [Date of Return]. During this time, I will have limited access to emails and phone calls.

If you have an urgent matter that requires attention, please contact [Name of Colleague or Manager] at [Email Address] or [Phone Number].

For all other inquiries, I will respond to your email as soon as possible upon my return. Please note that my response time may be delayed due to my absence.

Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to connecting with you upon my return.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

You can customize this template to fit your needs and company culture. Here are some additional tips:

Make sure to include the dates of your absence and the name and contact information of the person who will be handling urgent matters in your absence.
Consider adding a note about the types of emails you will be able to respond to upon your return, such as "I will respond to all emails upon my return, but please note that my response time may be delayed."
If you have a specific colleague or team that will be handling your workload while you are away, consider including their contact information in the email.
You may also want to include a note about any alternative contact methods, such as a phone number or instant messaging service, that recipients can use to reach you if they have an urgent matter.
