Neither are correct for a work email. If you want to say "for fuck's sakes", instead say "as per our earlier discussion".

For the usual candidates I either keep detailed notes, or make sure I can quickly find an earlier conversation (chat, email, whatever).
So in that case I’m then just answering “As we’ve discussed on 14.04. at 13:39, 17.04 14:30 and 20.04 at 14:15 already…”
They typically get the hint that when I’m capable of remembering in detail when we discussed it they maybe should make an effort of remembering what we discussed.

These bastards tend to refuse to put anything down in writing and insist on calling or meeting face to face because “it’s faster”. But we all know it’s so they have no accountability on what they say.

Then the trick is to immediately do the “follow up” email to recap what was discussed. And CC some folks who weren’t there.

Just send an email afterwards with the meeting notes. CC all participants and/or relevant people. They almost never contend the notes, and if they do, I invite more people to the meeting next time so they can’t pull that again.

Lack of accountability goes both ways, though…
