I think there is still a way to go here. For example, the "really" in "really appreciate" isn't useful. Also the last sentence in the "summarized" version reads: "If for any reason you haven't let, let me know..." I would also that that the "for any reason" is not useful, it is again implied. You don't need "by now", it is implied. |

The statements "That's nice." and "That's really, truly nice." give off very different messages.
One of them I'm not even sure if you're being short or dismissive/not interested, and I have to do mental gymnastics to figure out what the underlying tone is.
Just one or two words makes a massive (see what I did there) difference in tone + perception.
This is half the reason why it's hard working remotely. I put so much effort into being overly polite/nice with tone because you lose out on all other social cues and it's easy to mistake an ambiguous message.
