Professionally ignore people with style.

The timing of your email is spectacularly unfortunate for both of us. I am away collecting sunburn, questionable snacks, and plausible deniability. If this is about concepts, copy, or impossible timelines, the work can breathe. You can expect a response after my absence, not during it. If the timeline is actually collapsing, please reach out to production. I appreciate your flexibility with this avoidable surprise.
