I asked for a deletion as I couldn't trust the original text. Sorry.
There's definitely something very whiffy about the font that they've used; I'm not even convinced that it's really Cambria Math to be honest. I've popped the text into a few apps to see what happens with mixed results. Notepad++, Word, and Excel will swallow it directly from the original message, but can't recognise the characters when copied from a post preview pane from CUK. There's definitely some odd translation taking place.
If you're pasting text from somewhere else, it's always worth putting it into a post, then selecting it and hitting the Remove Format button at the top of the post - it's the second button in, looks like a black A, a red x and a blue underlined A
And while one was tidying up, another was trying to re-format the text. I suspect the problem is that the original email format was in some weird fonts - which scammers like to use.
