OUT OF OFFICE EMAIL
Greetings eager traveler!
Here, you’ll find three replacement options for your standard out-of-office email that will inform your co-workers of your temporary (or not) unavailability while you travel the world and find your unknown.
Be advised: in the event that any or all of your coworkers read these emails and are inspired to suddenly quit their jobs, Eagle Creek is not responsible for any damages your former (or current) employer may incur as a result.
So, swap out those boring automated responses with inspiring tidbits that give coworkers FOMO about the unknowns they aren’t finding by sitting at their desks.
Below are three options for “thought starter” OOO emails that you can copy and paste, and then edit for your own destinations and taste.
THE "I MAY RETURN, OR NOT"
Hello, I am currently out of the office indefinitely, finding my unknown in South Africa. I may return on the 31st, or not, who knows! If you need immediate assistance while I’m away, please sit tight.
Sincerely,
<Your Name Here>
WHEN FINDING YOUR UNKNOWN IS A MUST
Hi there! If you’re receiving this message, I am most likely in an Amazon jungle evading poison arrow frogs with an expert guide who speaks no English. I will return once I have successfully found my unknown.
Cheers!

WHEN NO WIFI IS THE BEST THING EVER
What up work associate! Sorry I missed your note. I’m off exploring a remote corner of the world and have no time or wifi to respond. If you happen to be one of my friends or favorite co-workers, there’s a slight chance I will bring you a souvenir. No promises, though.
Until sometime,
<Your Name Here>
