[QUOTE="Neoncat, post: 1599187, member: 397089"] I expect the person who wrote the email was genuinely trying to be helpful and as [USER=295621]@GrantGam[/USER] said, would be mortified if they realised how thoughtless they had been and the impact they had made (I am.sure we can all think of cringe worthy examples of times we have done the same!). I am glad to hear you followed up and hopefully that will help you feel better about it. This year my manager surprised everyone on the team with an Easter Egg hunt. Knowing I was diabetic she went to special effort to get me a "low sugar" one which she proudly presented to me. It was beyond inedible, and I looked on in jealousy as my colleagues tucked into their delicious chocolatey goodness. She meant really well and I was touched that not only had she thought of me but also the extra effort she had gone to on my behalf. I had to stop off on the way home to buy myself a proper chocolate egg to make myself feel better though! I still can't think of a diplomatic way to tell her! [/QUOTE]
