They do not personally bother me. If I do not want them, I could email you back, or just hit 'delete' and go about my day. It's not a big deal on a single loan email from someone you have done business with in the past.

That being said, whether it's a past client, member, or whatever... you want to make sure you are follow CAN-SPAM compliance or whatever laws are applicable.
