I doubt that what you did should be a sacking offence but if you are only there 4 months then you can be let go any time up to 12 months anyway because (with specific exceptions) unfair dismissals protection does not apply.Can I be sacked for doing what I did?
Not necessarily. Depends on the original poster's contract.After 4 months in the company, you are still under probation period.

While I agree it was not a good idea to use work email for personal use, I challenge you to find someone who has never sent a personal email from a work address.Did you sign up to any 'acceptable usage policy' regarding email/internet usage when you joined the company? Does this say anything about use of company email for personal business?
If this happens then why is explaining it to your family such a problem?My main fear is that I would be let go and have to come home and explain this to my family
If just first names were used then it's still an option. You'll know better than we do regarding the content of the email but if it's just first names that were being used you could be in with a shout. God only knows the number of times I've started to type in the first name of someone in the 'To' line only for Outlook to pop up a work colleague's name before I go and adjust it. And I've also received a couple of emails from someone who I worked with years ago. They believed they were sending it to someone else who shared the same first name as me until I advised them otherwise.Decani, she did actually reply directly to me. She said she was sorry it took her so long to get back to me but she was so busy, she received the CV and would be getting back to my colleague after reviewing her CV..so no! Don't think I could deny that one.
