I'm confused. Did his email include the <snip> too? Or all the text from the site?

The entire text from the site. I'm very rusty on this and I felt reluctant to post the entire thing on here just in case. Here you go:

THE MONEY TRANSFER SCAM LETTERS
Sample letter one:

Dear Sir,
Pardon my intrusion into your privacy like this, but the
Circumstances warrant that I do so.

I am Mr. Christopher Smith- a lawyer/consultant for some Asian
Eminent personnels who prefer to remain anonymous.
They have shown proofs to me which I have verified professionally that their
claims are true, sincere and accurate as I wouldn't

want my name and career smeared with mud; that they have a certain large sum of
money in CASH (USD$45,000,000.00 -
Forty five million USA dollars) stashed away in security and finance houses in
Europe.

My clients are politicians, ex-head of states and some of them are in asylum
which explains why they prefer to remain anonymous.

They have requested that I source for a reliable and capable foreigner to act as
their partner who will help claim these funds

from
the security company after which it shall be used for investment as directed by
the foreigner (subject to a close study of

feasibility expected to be supplied).The funds are duly protected professionally
to avoid any unauthorized tampering or theft.

A total of 22.5% of the total sum has been set aside for you if you agree to be
our partner as well as a 5% which is mapped out

for all expenses which might be incurred in the process of claiming the funds
from the security company.

As a lawyer, I am aware of the various similar propositions flying about on the
internet and I must confess that I was reluctant

to take up this task, but having carried out my investigations and confirm it is
true, I can confidently tell you that this is

no scam.

Kindly reply back to me should you wish to be a partner with 100% assurance that
you will not regret your decision.
Awaiting your prompt response.

Sincerely yours,
