It would be nice if condor_wait could be told what type of event to wait on, and it could return which event was seen. The script waiting could send its email and if held or released just re-enter its loop. Something like:

STATE=$(condor_wait -states removed,completed,hold,release)
while [ $? -ge 0 ];
   email $STATE
   case $STATE in
     removed ) ...; exit;
     completed ) ...; exit;
     hold ) ...
     release ) ...
   STATE=$(condor_wait -states removed,completed,hold,release)
done

Best,
