Take this and vanish gracefully.
I appreciate the email and regrettably will not be reading it promptly. I am on a break and treating my email like a distant rumor. Please treat most business escalations as suspicious until proven urgent. Responses will resume after my return. For urgent matters, please use the existing approval path instead of guessing. Thank you for your understanding while I am away.
