1 reached: "To reach" has a few meanings, but here the term refers to "contacting by telephone". The expression "you have reached (the Delavigne Corporation)" is commonly heard on voice mail boxes, and expresses that the caller has successfully contacted the message service of a person or organization.
2 voice mail: "Voicemail (boxes or services)" have largely replaced the old-fashioned answering machine. They are dedicated spaces to leave voice messages, which can be accessed remotely in most cases. "Voicemail" can be written as one word or two.
3 missed: To "miss (a telephone)" call is to be absent or unable to answer when it came. It is a common term in outgoing messages. For example: I'm sorry I missed your call.
4 out of: To be "out of (the office)" is to be away from the office, or to not be in it. This term is frequently used on outgoing voicemail messages to signal that the person being called is "unable" to take a call because of their absence.
5 office: "Office" is the best choice here. "To be out of the office" is an expression often used on outgoing voice messages to signal that the person being called is away from their work telephone.
6 at the moment: To be out of the office "at the moment" is to be absent from it currently, or at the present time. The expression "at the moment" is very common in English, and is very likely to be found in an outgoing message as well.
7 leave: To "leave a message (on a machine)" is to record a message for someone. The message usually includes the reason for the phone call and the caller's contact details. Example: "I left a message on Antonio's voicemail, but I think he's in Amsterdam for the next few months."
8 tone: The "tone" of a message machine refers to the beeping sound which signals the beginning of a message. The term "beep" is also used. The term "tone" is frequently used in outgoing messages. For example: Please leave your name and number at the tone, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
9 get back: "To get back to someone (by telephone)" is to respond to them or reply to an earlier call or question. This is a very common term used in many telephone conversations and messages. For example: I'm sorry I missed your call. I will get back to you as soon as I am able.
10 as soon as possible: "As soon as possible" (or "ASAP"). This expression is frequently used in outgoing messages to signal that someone will call back as soon as they are able, or as soon as they have time to do so. For example: "I'll call you back as soon as possible."

1 ASAP: "ASAP" is the right answer here. This is a shortened form (an initialism) of "as soon as possible", meaning "at the soonest possible moment". In spoken English, we usually pronounce each of the letters in this term individually, although it is possible to pronounce "ASAP" as a word. Another example: "Call me ASAP to discuss your pay rise".
2 appointment: "Appointment" is the word we were looking for here. In this context, an "appointment" is "an agreement to meet", or "a meeting". In another context, an "appointment" can refer to the act of assigning someone to a position. A couple of examples: "Since Mr Walduck's appointment as Prime Minister, the economy is doing very well", "I'd like to arrange an appointment with Bruno this afternoon".
3 schedule: "Schedule" is the right answer. The verb "to schedule" means to "set up" or "decide on a time for (a meeting)". Note that there is a related noun: "a schedule", meaning a "diary" or "agenda". Another example: "We were scheduled to meet on Wednesday, but we've had to postpone it".

1 reimburse: "Reimburse" is the correct term here. To "reimburse (someone for something they have bought)" is to pay them back what they have spent, or to return their money to them. Here's another example: "All employees will be reimbursed for the tickets they purchase".
2 booked: "Booked" is the correct term to complete this sentence. To "book" a ticket is to "buy" or "reserve" a ticket. Example: "I've booked a table for three at the restaurant tonight".
3 vacation: "Vacation" is the right answer. To be "on vacation" is to be taking a break from work or school, and perhaps sunbathing on a beach or visiting a foreign city. Example: "I'm on vacation until September 12th, so please leave a message with my secretary".
4 holiday: "Holiday" is the term used in the UK to describe a "vacation" or break from work, often involving travel. Example: "I got a great tan when I was on holiday in Scotland". Note that we can also say that someone is "on leave", which is a more neutral term that doesn't imply any particular activity or trip.
5 as: "As" is the right term to begin this common expression.
6 soon: "Soon" is the best choice here.
7 as: "As" is needed again here.
8 possible: "Possible" is the final word in this idiom!
