German name writing help

[boyse7en]

Any German/German speakers able to help with a formatting/spelling question?

I'm emailing a contact I made at an exhibition. Her surname as she wrote it down on my pad is "Huesemann"

I've looked her up on Linkedin, where her surname is shown as Hüsemann (with an umlaut)

Any reason why she would have spelled her name wrong/different? Is it to make typing easier for english-speakers or something?
Should I go with the "proper" spelling of her name, or use it as she provided it? I don't want to offend on first approach.

Ue is just used by people when they can't type the umlaut, as not everyone knows how to do it on a keyboard, or because she knew you were English and it made it easier for you to pronounce. . Ue is just the pronunciation off the ü in English.

I forget the key now, but it's something like Alt+198 to type in ü (I did this on my iPad so it's already there).

You won't offend anyone, but always best to do it properly if you can.

In my experience people with accents in their names are not offended by either the missing accent or a variant on their name, especially from Brits, where we don't routinely use accents.

Either spell it with an umlaut or use the letter with an umlaut followed by an 'e'.

Generally it is for email addresses as most keyboards only have these language specific letters if you have a lanaguage specific keyboard or use 'insert symbol'.

If writing to her then use the correct format.
