Reading between the lines...

Does anyone read their emails any more? Today I sent an email at work, it was literally two sentences. Pay close attention because this gets complicated. Sentence One: Attached please find copy of the application. Here's where I do a slight of hand. Sentence Two: Please complete and return with all necessary documentation to my attention. Of course this elicited a response also two sentences. The first: Thank you for your response. And the second: Should I return the application to you? Honestly, should I reply?
