That's about it folks, just trying to recognise what this might be? Taken from the body of an email

I think that what is known as "spam".

Probably just random scraped content mixed with some spammy text.

The stockticker info looks like XML tags and has been injected between the spam text to try to mask it. In an HTML email I don't think the XML bits would display, so you'd only see the spam text.

Delete it.
