My LOR writer wrote a great letter. However, in one of the paragraphs, he referred to me by a different name (eg., John instead of Justin). It's a typo, of course. However, is this something worth asking to be corrected, re-printed, re-signed, re-scanned, and re-uploaded by the writer?

What do you think:

Thank you for the letter! That was one very supportive letter! It's humbling and heartwarming. Thank you, really.

And I'd also like to follow up: I noticed that my name was spelled incorrectly (John instead of Justin, and Smith instead of Stallone), and I was wondering if it would be okay with you to have these corrected and re-uploaded (I'll send a new upload link to you). There's only 2 instances of them, and I've attached a screenshot below so you can locate them easier.

Also as another option, if you want (and to make it easier for you), I can convert the letter electronically so you wouldn't have to scan it. If so, you can send to me the Word Document file and a picture of the letterhead (camera photo is fine). Then, I will combine them using Photoshop.

Thank you again. Let me know how you want to proceed.
