Subject: Won't be here next month

Heya Louise,

I got a sweet opportunity to head to LA with my friend next month and won't be coming to work the week of November 22 - 29. I've already added these vacation days to my timesheet. I think I had a client meeting scheduled on Nov 24 but I'm sure they'll be A-OK to reschedule or maybe Jana can cover.

I'd also appreciate it if you can take over my invoicing that week because I leave right after work on Friday and might not have time to finish up all my paperwork from the day.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
