Illegal, another word.

Legally "suboptimal", in that you're confessing to the future victim of a crime that you're about to inflict a crime on him. Not only do you become liable, we've just established conspiracy to commit, rather than just the crime itself. This generally doubles the penalty. Bonus idiot points for doing it over email.
