I'm not sure if this is spoiler details but...After this happened to me several times, I just stop checking the emails until my peeps reach level 8. I also noticed that if I playing late (after 10PM) I was getting the IRS back taxes email so I stopped checking email after 9:45pm. Seems to solve that problem. I do suggest that you buy the "trade mags" when they are in the store. If you have upgraded to level 2 in the Kitchen, office and workshop - having your peeps "read" the mags jumps them almost to level 2 of career without them even working.
