Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio

Slander?

I work in real estate. I work for a Realtor. I am also licensed to practice real estate. We are representing a seller, who happens to be a partner in a law firm. The seller and I have been having e-mail correspondence regarding his listing. Setting up showings for other real estate agents, etc. During this back and forth correspondence he was skirting a question I kept asking him in regards to some money he owed a cleaning person he asked us to co-ordinate for him. After several attempts to arrange a simple task of putting a check in the mail, I meant to forward an e-mail to my boss, in which I called him a name that was very unkind and probably be considered vulgar. Instead of forwarding the e-mail to my boss, I accidentally replied back to our seller. Of course, he saw my terrible words. He replied back that obviously I sent it to the wrong addressee and that it was a highly disturbing e-mail. (I agree) I sent him an e-mail apology back and I am very sincere. Does he have a slander case, or something else that he can bring against me? I'm very worried about this and I do feel terribly. Its not usually in my nature to act that way and because of many outside stressors, I reacted in a way I normally wouldn't have.
