Wrong email account - gah

Just a GAAAAH rather than a request for advice.

I just emailed an ex colleague to suggest meeting up for a coffee to discuss whether there was anything interesting coming up in his new organisation. But I sent it from my stupidly named private email, rather than my more professionally titled one. Not quite "fluffysparklepants@gmail" but still a bit silly sounding. Bugger. It would just draw attention and look worse to re-send it from my other account, wouldn't it?

when he reply forward it to your other account and reply from there - saying BTW I am used this email account now - as he knows you its not the end of the world!

Thanks, I will do that.

We don't really know each other - only well enough to smile at in the corridor 5 years ago, so it is quite an out of the blue email, and I worked so hard on getting the tone just right, only to send it from a stupid place. Gah (again)!
