Prasad's system is correctly sending the "right" order (DOS
line-ends are CR+LF = \r\n, not the other way around).  However, it
might be that there is no CR+LF on the last line, or that one line
is missing the CR, so your viewer heuristic (vim does this) thinks
it has Unix NL-only line-endings and shows the ^M on all the lines
that have the CR.  All for one stray line without.

Prasad's email came through cleanly here (gmane + Thunderbird).
