Email to local rep- what would you do?

Anonymous
DD hastily sent an email to rep who visited the school. Luckily the wording is fine and good - just thanking him for his time and reiterating her love of the school. However she didn't format it properly and it has no space between him name, the body and her name. I'm so mad and wanted have her send a follow up saying something about so sorry the formatting got messed up after sending, but the message remains the same. Like acknowledging she knows it looks bad. She think it's overkill and barely cares. DH thinks leave it and why draw attention to it. But it looks sloppy and I think it would show she cares if she acknowledges it?

Your whole family is so cringe. She wasn’t supposed to send that email in the first place.

Why? It was like 3 sentences and respectful. Didn't ask any fake questions that required an answer. Just thanks for coming. My other kid did and got in all of those places.

I would have her reformat it and send it again. And then you follow up with another email that says “this email is to confirm that we’ve been having formatting problems with email.” And then send a handwritten card that says “see this is why the USPS is still needed.”

I think it’s great. The rep will definitely know that it came from your kid without parental input.

That’s a good thing!

Please just let it be. Right now, the rep probably won't even notice. If you send follow-up emails, it will be memorable in a bad way.

She definitely won't email. If he does notice, is it that bad or am I overreacting since she's 17? Not like she has typos or his name wrong. Just didn't space anything. It looks semi ok on the phone just weird on laptop.
