Will they still be able to receive the mail without the ID#?

I'm not sure what the ID number is but I put the Booking Number. Will they still be able to receive the email?

It's not a good idea to leave the ID off of the correspondence.

It's not a good idea to leave the ID off of the correspondence. If you did the letter through InmateAid, and forgot their ID number - we will resend it at no charge once you correct the information and email it to us.
