I'm only reproducing this because of the disclaimer. Really? You're fishing for clients, not giving legal, medical or confidential information. It doesn't mean a thing. Also, when I tried searching for this, Google [4] helpfully mentioned:

Heh.

Also, that text shows up on a lot of emails. A lot.

I would like to note that this came from 135328.com, a domain registered in China, from a server in Williamsville, NY [5]. The email was from yjonjens@mail.com [6], which is from a domain registered to a company in Chesterbrook, PA [7] and administered by a German company in Karlsruhe [8]. The default Reply-To: address is broling@aliyun.com [9], which is from a copmany in China registered by what appears to be either a European or American. And as you can see, it doesn't match the “sender” address, nor the address mentioned in the email itself. I'm not worried about being sued by these jokers.
