Why not just say "copy?"

I find that entirely acceptable, much preferable to
"send a copy"
because it is both shorter and more precise. It lets
you distinguish
betweeb cc'ing a message (extra recipient, and other
recipients are
informed of that) and bcc'ing it (blind cc where
other recipients
aren't told about this one).

That doesn't necessarily mean it is OK for your
audience. I'm very
thoroughly used to email. They may not be, or may
use different
conventions.
