comma or semicolon [c. splice]: ignore the mail, my apologies for

[kritika]

Hi,

Should we use a (; )or (,) in the following sentences:

Please ignore the previous mail, my apologies for the inconvenience.

Context- I wrote an email but attached a wrong file, so I'm writing an apology mail for it. Don't want to make another mistake

I believe it should be a (,) though I don't have an explaination to support it.

Thanks!

They are two sentences, so you can use a semicolon, dash or a period/full stop. Not a comma.

I would use a full stop (period). Make it two complete sentences.

The general rule is that if you could use a period, then you can't use a comma.

In this case, I'd use a semicolon [;] rather than a period, because the two thoughts are so closely related.

Hi Kritika,
First I would like to correct "explaination", it must be explanation.
Coming to the sentence you can use comma.

No, you really can't use a comma; the sentence would be a comma splice otherwise.
