Hmmm, you’ve reached an older feature - let’s get you up to date! Read our latest Media features here.

Love this idea from Travel Republic.

‘Out of Office’ emails are just superboring aren’t they? But when you go on holiday this summer, you can use the template below instead;  just cut and paste the picture, and alter the copy to fit your own circumstances. Let’s hope it includes the words ‘extended Caribbean sabbatical’!

Thanks for your email.

I am currently out of the office on holiday enjoying every inch of Orlando.

Many thanks.
