[edit]"Whitemail can also be considered as legally compensating someone for doing their job in a manner benefiting the payor. For example, if a person gives a maître de a $20 bill in order to secure a table more quickly than other patrons who had arrived earlier, this could be considered whitemail. It is merely a compensatory incentive for someone to do their job quicker, better, or in a manner more advantageous to the payor." We already have a word for this in English - "bribery".
