One ready-made excuse

Take this and vanish gracefully.

I am currently out of the office. I am on a break and treating my email like a distant rumor. Any request involving alignment, sign-off, or strategic visibility can hold. Responses will resume after my return. If something is genuinely urgent, please reach out to your usual internal contact. I appreciate your understanding and patience.
