RE: Cover letter mistakes

[Mike <techmail_mike -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Ah, this is always a source of worry for the tech
writer.  Errors are embarrassing on a cover letter for
the non-tech writer, but it can be a reflection on the
entire work ethic of the person who is a tech writer.
 
I think it really depends on the nature of the error. 
If it is a single misspelled word, it probably does
not merit a follow-up E-mail; although, if it is a
word such as their/there/they're or another misused
homonym, it may be worth a follow-up.
