question: i have an automatic email response and some clients and contacts criticized me for it. i am overloaded during tax season and this takes some pressure off of me. here is the automatic email response i am sending out:
thank you for your e-mail. please accept my apology for this automated response. during tax season, most of my work days are scheduled with appointments and calls. i most always reply to emails and phone calls as soon as i can, usually the same day. replies are slower during the months of february, march and april. thank you for your patience.
answer: that’s terrible!
