One ready-made excuse

Take this and vanish gracefully.

Thank you for your message. I am on vacation and committed to disappointing my inbox. Please assume all non-emergency alignment can survive my absence. I will respond as soon as practical after I am back. For urgent issues, contact the team lead or whichever vice president loves escalation the most. Thanks for your flexibility.
