Let D be the number of emails sent to the director on the first day.
He sent out D + 0.75 * D = 1.75 * D emails on the first day
The number of emails sent each day increased by 6 so the number of emails sent on the second day was 1.75 * D + 6
On the third day, he sent out 1.75 * D + 6 + 6 = 1.75 * D + 12 emails
On the fourth day, he sent out 1.75 * D + 12 + 6 = 1.75 * D + 18 emails
On the fifth day, he sent out 1.75 * D + 18 + 6 = 1.75 * D + 24 emails
The sum of the number of emails sent each day is 1.75 * D + 1.75 * D + 6 + 1.75 * D + 12 + 1.75 * D + 18 + 1.75 * D + 24 = 5 * 1.75 * D + 60 emails.
He sent out 100 emails in total so 5 * 1.75 * D + 60 = 100.
Therefore 5 * 1.75 * D = 100 - 60 = <<5*1.75=8.75>>8.75
Therefore D = 8.75 / (5 * 1.75) = <<8.75/(5*1.75)=1>>1. Answer: \boxed{1}.
