Explanation:
It MAY mean "Wegen", as a term now frequently used instead of the (more correct) "Betr(ifft).:". Looking at the context you give, this appears to be taken from a pre-printed e-Mail form, which on its own means little; but many writers of e-Mails, being in a hurry, tend to write "Wg" or "WG", without looking at the form irself.
