Is TL;DR ok in a work email if degrading yourself?

So, I had an issue today.  A wholesaler had a client asking a question on a fund that sounded simple on the surface but could really only be distilled down into four paragraphs. (Honestly, I probably should have sent 60 pages worth of highly technical documents that the client would just have gotten p/o'd at trying to read to cover everything)

My first draft involved a two sentence summary that began TL;DR  before what was essentially an essay including weighting methodologies and the limitations of brinson attribution.  I managed to edit it to avoid TL;DR, but do people think I can say that in polite work conversations on my own answers or not?
