Is it okay to do this once in a while?

Question

is it okay if i write to my cousin once in a while on his office email? he works for citifinancial. he told me they dont mind emails, but their main concern is receiving emails that have attachments. he said i can write to him once or twice a month

Answer 1

He might have also signed a wavier in the beginning of his employment that said he wouldn't use the Internet for his own personal use.

Answer 2

yeah it should be ok, the only reason they don't want to receive emails that have attachments is because of  the threat of virus's. I have mailed ppl at work before and it's ok.

Answer 3

We have strict rules where I work about using the Internet for personal use. I think people who are being paid to work should be doing so. I don't think they should be on their cell phones all day Talking to their friends either. Do that stuff when you are off the clock or on break.

Answer 4

No one will be able to truly answer that question except your cousin. Each company has its own rules and its own culture. If your cousin says it is, then I am sure it will be fine. I write to my wife on her work email all the time.

The important thing to understand is that they might be very busy and take a while, days, sometime weeks to respond. Don't be upset. That just happens.
