notifying clients

theabbey5

I am the only person in my department (marketing for a retirement community) so while I am out the executive director and our activities coordinator will be handling any immediate issues...however no regular contacts will be made until I get back from leave.  I'm considering a letter to my clients/prospects that I have decent relationships with to let them know I'll be out and who to contact in my absence.  Is anyone else doing something like this to keep loose ends tied up while out of work?
