I was a little suspicious so I did a Google search on the author. I was directed to http://arrangeyourvacation.com/pages.aspx?id=78 where I found the following as an actual example of scam emails:-

I am Dr Mark Donald, Director [Markdonald Reservation and Brokers Agency], I have delegates that are interested in booking your Hotel for their Conference Summit, We want to know if your single rooms or suites would be available for booking, They are 4 in numbers and they want your 4 single rooms or suites, They will last for 14 days, Mail us back with the final prices for your rooms so that we can get back to the delegates for payment but that will be via Credit Card, Check-In will be starting from 1st Feb 2007, Check-Out 15th Feb 2007.

It would appear that my suspicions were well-founded.
