One ready-made excuse

Take this and vanish gracefully.

Your email has been received during my scheduled absence. I am spending leave days nowhere near a laptop charger. The slide deck will remain exactly as dramatic as I left it. I will get back to you once I return and can review this properly. Urgent needs should be directed to the appropriate stakeholder with calendar access. Thank you for your consideration.
