Which of the following statements is the most appropriate for ending an outgoing message on an answering machine while maintaining a professional tone?
This is a common message to hear on the automated message machines, when calling a company for example. On a personal voice mail message, it is extremely unlikely to hear such a message.
"I'll get back to you in a timely fashion" expresses the same meaning and tone as Icarus' message "I'll return your call as soon as possible". This is a common way to end a voice mail message in English, and maintains the formal tone of Icarus's message.
This might be heard in a rap song or on the streets of Brooklyn, however it would not be heard in a formal message. This is street slang, and it is extremely informal in nature.
This sentence would likely be found at the end of a letter or email, or any sort of written correspondence. It would not be found in an outgoing voice mail message, however.

1 course: This is the right answer. A "course" is a training session or series of lessons. For example, "I've just completed a free online scuba-diving course. I'm a qualified instructor now!".
2 channel: Correct! This is the right answer. To "channel" means to concentrate solely on something or to direct it to a particular aim. A synonym of to "channel" is to "divert". For example, "After my divorce I needed to channel my depression into something more constructive, so I learned how to knit."
3 untimely: "Untimely" means "unexpectedly early" and is often used in the context of an early, unexpected death. For example; "My hamster Henry met a very untimely demise. He was in his exercise ball and my brother took it to the park to play football".
