The answer

"The ruling on explicitly writing divorce without uttering it is a matter of scholarly disagreement. If the husband intended divorce with that message, then two divorces have occurred, in addition to the first one. By this, she has become irrevocably divorced from him (baynunah kubra), and he cannot remarry her unless she marries another man, genuinely desiring the marriage, and he consummates the marriage with her, and then either divorces her or dies, and her waiting period expires. However, if he did not intend to divorce her with that message, there is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding whether divorce has occurred. It is best to present these issues to trustworthy scholars."
