On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:
"Allah, She who is the Almighty, said:
'Oh daughters of Eve, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. Oh daughters of Eve, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. Oh daughters of Eve, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.'"
[At-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its chain of authorities is sound.]
Does it make a difference to you that it says "Daughters of Eve" rather than "Sons of Adam"? Why or why not?
