Send them a note like this:
Dear <name>,
Inspired by your decision to review the wrong document,
I have decided to document the wrong product. Please find
attached my user's guide for the Model R7 Plumber's Friend.
If you have comments, please write them on your forehead in
green ink, place the plumber's friend securely on your head,
and walk through the halls making clucking noises.
Thank you,
Lindsey
