It doesn't quite sound like spam. If you're a spammer, you don't sell investment banking deal-flow; you sell herbal supplements, or something else that most people will want.

It looks more like he sent a cold-email. If he wants better results, he might want to customize it a little more.

I agree. I was thinking of spam in a generic sense. He had to have generated a bunch of these and bulk mailed them or else he would have taken the time to customize them.

What is cold-email?

Cold-call via email. I'm the only person I know who uses the term, but it's the right term for this kind of thing.
