A useful correction tells the recipient what to disregard and how to recognize the replacement.

The idea

Acknowledge the wrong file, attach the correct version, identify a distinguishing detail and ask whether it opens.

Examples

  • Envié el archivo equivocado.I sent the wrong file.
  • Adjunto la versión correcta.I am attaching the correct version.
  • Por favor, ignora el archivo anterior.Please ignore the previous file.
  • La versión nueva incluye la tabla de abril.The new version includes the April table.
  • Confírmame si puedes abrirla.Please confirm whether you can open it.
  • Disculpa la confusión.Sorry for the confusion.

A correction message cannot make an earlier attachment disappear; clearly identify which file the recipient should use.
