How should I handle accidentally omitting a key word in an email to a hiring partner? The rest of my email is flawless as are my resume and cover letter. Should I apologize or leave it alone?
I wrote: "I would to"
I meant to say: " I would [like] to"
Big mistake? Please help.
I should add that my email was in response to an email from the partner and not a random cold email.

Ignore it. There's a chance the partner won't notice. If s/he does notice, it'll be a minus point, but sending a correction email won't eradicate your mistake, will bring (renewed) attention to it, and may annoy him/her.Anonymous User wrote:How should I handle accidentally omitting a key word in an email to a hiring partner?

Basically there's no upside to any apology

However, if they do bring it up, apologize and say it won't happen again.
