Help with detaching the screen programmatically

Hi,

I am using screen utility for protecting from ssh disconnects.
My process flow i ssomething like :

a) I start screen from my desktop terminl.

b)In the screen session, i ssh to one host and execute a command

c)Once the above command is completed,i would like to exit via ctr-a or ctrl-d and send a mail to myself.

Currently, i try
Code:
command_in_remote_host;logout ;echo "it's done"|mail -s "Completed" $USER@domain.com
command_in_remote_host;exit ;echo "it's done"|mail -s "Completed" $USER@domain.com

But, the last command is not getting executed after the ssh is disconnected.

Is there any way i can programmatically simulate ctrl-a or ctrl-d , so that it can detach and send the mail?

Please advise.

Thanks
