Please excuse this intrusion.

First they use the lame ploy of trying to trick you into thinking you
requested the information at some previous time (has this ever worked on
anyone!?) and then acknowledge that it is in fact unsolicited spam by
apologizing for the intrusion.
The really lame part is that this message was almost 20K!  That is an
abuse of bandwidth that really should be punishable by death.
