Every now and again, some muppet blocks up our email system by sending a company-wide email to the thousands of staff that work there. Occasionally though it's worth it for the witty replies that come back from disgruntled recipients (names changed to protect the innocent, or course!):
Just to let you know I shall be leaving for Maternity leave on the 23rd August for '6 months'.. If you have any queries etc please email me ASAP tomorrow and I shall try and resolve them by Monday. If not please email James or call him on XXXX XXXXXXX.
