| Mar 11, 2014 at 13:45 | comment | added | DJClayworth | My guess is that the writer (wrongly) thought "mandatory" meant "legally required". But asking is the right way to go. | |

The more senior the person who wrote the email and the less well you know him, the riskier this is. Instead ask your direct manager to clarify the meaning. | |
