A very senior person at a top firm asked me for my cv and cover letter to forward to hr for some experience.
In the cover letter which I wrote in the main body of the email, I wrote ..."this highlights my detail to attention.."
Shall I admit it to him and apologize and say something like that was the previous version of the cover letter?

If you get the interview, come in dressed like a hipster and say you wrote your cover letter ironically.
lol, It was for some work experience. TBH I have an asian name so could argue that English is my second languge. Also saying detail to attention is not that bad is it? Kinda makes sense
Yes, in that context it kind of sense makes.
But this guy went to my high school . On its own is saying detail to attention that bad? It kinda makes sense to me. ..
You're so fucked.
