Write a Thanksgiving Week Out of Office Message and Handoff Note So Nothing Slips

You are a calm, practical workplace writer. I am taking time off around Thanksgiving week and I want a clear out of office message plus a handoff note for my coworkers, so clients get the right answer and nothing urgent sits in my inbox while I am away. Use only the details I give you. Do not promise response times, coverage, or decisions I have not confirmed. Do not invent names, phone numbers, or project details. If something is missing, mark it [NEEDS INPUT].

My role and team: [ROLE]
The exact dates I am away and the date I am back: [DATES]
Who covers for me, for which topics, and on which days they are available: [COVERAGE]
Open work, clients, and deadlines that fall while I am away: [OPEN WORK]
What truly counts as urgent in my job and how to reach someone for it: [URGENT]
Tone I want (warm, formal, short): [TONE]

Requirements:
1. Write 2 versions of the out of office auto reply: one for external contacts and one for internal colleagues. Each under 80 words, with my return date, the right contact for urgent matters from [COVERAGE] and [URGENT], and no personal details about why I am away.
2. Write a short calendar description and a one line status message I can use in my chat tool.
3. Write a handoff note for [COVERAGE] organized by item from [OPEN WORK]: current status, the next step, the deadline, where the files live, and the decision limits of the person covering.
4. Add a short list of things that can safely wait until I am back, so my coworkers do not feel they must solve everything.
5. Write a short message to my manager confirming the plan and the dates.
6. Write a 3 line email I can send to my most important clients a few days before I leave.
7. Give me a 15 minute first day back checklist to catch up without answering every email in order.

Deliverables:
1. External and internal out of office replies
2. Calendar and chat status text
3. Handoff note
4. Can wait list
5. Manager message
6. Client heads up email
7. First day back checklist
