SAMPLE - BEST WISHES ON LEAVING ON SABBATICAL
I was excited to hear about your period of sabbatical.
I'm particularly envious of your choice of location - I hear [NAME OF LOCATION, ex. Southern California] is particularly scenic and the weather is terrific. Please be sure to think of us huddled in the cold back home.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you while you're gone. Take care and see you soon!
Best regards,
