Spelling error in Cover Letter

In a spontaneous application to Lazard for an investment banking internship position, I misspelt the word 'derivatives' in the body of my cover letter, instead typing 'derivates'. Does this completely undermine my application? Is it worth sending an updated cover letter, gracefully admitting to my previous error?
