The mail header info (reply address) sounds like it was forged (in violation of the CAN-SPAM act), the contact info was not the sender's, there was no opt-out provision, and that message sounds to me like a mass-mailed form letter, not a single message a person typed to one recipient.
Chadglni, while I'd agree that well-targetted spam is less objectionable than untargetted spam, I don't think the CAN-SPAM distinguishes between the two.
