How much did I fuck myself with this one email?

Safe to say I just made the worst typo ever in wso history. I've been recruiting for a few opportunities right now and finished a great interview today for Job A. Was told I would be moving to the final round.

After I finished, I also wanted to follow up with Job B. I responded to a previous email chain that contained salary, position information, and next steps. Here's where I fucked up: I addressed the follow-up email to the recruiter at Job A (who has a similar name).

So it looked something like this:

To: Job A (Recruiter)

Re: Excited about Job B!

Hi Job B, thanks for sending me all the position information and salary. I'm definitely interested in Job B!

Thanks,

Greek

----forwarded email thread containing salary, position information, etc----

Is there any hope of saving this, or did I just completely fuck myself for Job A?

As a hiring manager myself, I rarely glaze over any email from candidates.  I have too much work to do on top of interviewing.  I doubt anyone will notice it.  One guy we hired had a typo in an early email he sent thanking us.  He mentioned he thought he was dead meat after he sent it.  I told him life happens.  I've found typos on purchase agreements that have been reviewed by legal.

 

Damn, they sent you the salary before extending an offer... wow, you burned bridges with the only decent recruiter out there... press F
