This is funny, reading it more carefully - there are also references to DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), UHF (Ultra High Frequency), and Interpol. Also, Mathematic is mispelled to "Mathematik" which strikes me as odd, giving the caliber of words used throughout the message. Another thing to note, is the capitalization scheme; It appears that proper nouns and places are for the most part capitalized, with some exceptions such as "cynthia", "sarah1", and a few others. All and all, this is nothing but pure conjecture, but it does almost totally rule out the possibility of it being some random misplaced SPAM email. It definately has the form of being intended for someone. Unfortunately, without figuring the key sequence that this is based on, it's probably impossible for us to decypher it. My original question still stands. If this is some kind of code, why would someone do something like this as opposed to PGP encryption or similar? -- Or both combined for the very paranoid.
