Beats Head Against the Wall

Not necessarily. It all depends on the agent. If they're a real stickler and check the page count before reading anything, and decide to reject you on that alone, then yeah, you're sunk. (but did you really want an agent like anyway? nah). Odds are more likely they're just start reading and if they love it, they'll have extra pages. If they don't, they won't notice you sent extra because they won't get that far. Or they'll see you sent extra and roll their eyes and start reading same as someone who sent 50 pages.

Mistakes happen, agents know this. Most of them won't boot you for it.

I wouldn't go nuts about it. My first request for a full I put "Query for me memoir" in the subject line.

Query for me memoir! LOL. I'm laughing my ass off. Was it pirate day?

It was jackass day.

Ironic that the publisher's name was Jack.

'Query for me Memoir' Brilliant!

I sent off a query last week to an agent I really like. The other day, I was checking through outstanding queries, and realized that I'd addressed that particular query to 'Dear Ms 'name-of-agency' and not her name.

Cross that one off the list.

I was copying and pasting names into a query letter, but failed on one. It was addressed "Dear super agent person"

I remember an amusing post about someone failing to copy and paste a name into "Dear mean bitter agent who will definitely reject me" (or something along those lines).

Did you hear back, Wayne?

I wouldn't worry. A request for 50 pages from a reasonable agent is usually done so that people don't send 12,938 pages of their work-in-progress and clog up teh internetz until a week next Sunday. I can't see you getting rejected for a few extra pages.
