Misspelling a company name

[sky ble]

Hi. I would appreciate your advice on this.
I have sent a thank you note to my further interviewer for sending me the interview details and I just realised that I misspelled the company name as I put 'KMP' instead of 'KPM". I am worried that it might have a bad impact on my future interview and I do not know if I should follow up and apologize or just leave it as it is. What are your thoughts on this?

I would appreciate any suggestion on how to compose an apologize note.

Thank you.

You could perhaps resend the thank you note with the correct spelling, and in the note you can briefly apologize for misspelling their company name.

It's a hard call. You don't want to think you didn't know the company name, but calling attention to your error might be worse.

I would acknowledge and correct the error. That is what a good employee would do.

That's what I think. I obviously know the company name and I spelled it correctly in all previous emails and my covering letter. It was just this time as I was in hurry and haven't noticed the error before I sent it...

As I've sent it yesterday and the company would see it after Easter I think that maybe it is better to pretend it didn't happen. Is it likely that they would bring that on an interview (which is in about 3 weeks time)?

I agree with Barb that it's a hard call. I would, for now, pretend it didn't happen and just deal with it if they bring it up at your interview. I don't think it's necessarily in your best interests to draw attention to it yourself.
