Since I got so much love for my recent “Out of the Office” Message…
I decided to share it with all of you who didn’t e-mail me recently (and thank you for not cluttering my inbox…)
=================
Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system. You are currently in 279th place and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 18 weeks.
….Just kidding! I’m actually away from the office until Friday, August 27th. For any urgent e-mails, please reach out to XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Otherwise, I’ll respond when I get back.
Best,
Kenny Mendes

Some of the comments I received:
“PS Btw your out of office was hilarious— it made me laugh out loud and I can honestly say that’s the first time I’ve done that when reading someone’s out of office! :)”
“I have sent your out of office reply to a few of my customers and we all vote it best one ever!”
“Your email made my day! :) I look forward to speaking with you upon your return August 27th, after reviewing your 5,000+ emails.”
“This is the best OOO I have seen!!”
:)
