Vorstandvorsitzender xxx hatte mit einer Info-Mail alle Mitarbeiter weltweit eingeladen, die xxx-Feier aktiv mitzugestalten.
What is an Info-Mail? I've never heard of them in the UK. Can I just say email or do I need to be more specific? Thanks for your help.

email memorandum
Adding memorandum makes it sound more official, like a notification to all employees.

...had asked via email...
1. es ist keine wirkliche Einladung (eher Aufforderung)
2. es ist eine Info i.S.v. Aufforderung
Na ja, Info-Email gibt es nicht wirklich, es ist einfach eine Email, die Infozwecken dient:-)
