Question

What should I put as the subject?

Brian Salazar-Prince

Top Answerer

I would suggest something like "Expected Absence" or "Anticipated Absence" because it will allow them to gauge from the subject of the e-mail that it is important and you are attempting to be respectful by alerting them in advance.
