Not to be a jerk about this, but I don't think that "Hospitality
Management" refers to the porn or sex tour industry. I'd read it as
referring the the hotel/restaurant management industry, which is a
pretty large (and legitimate) business area. Try a Google search for
the "Hospitality Management"; most of the sites I get are
collegiate-level programs and departments -- not a single porn listing
in the first page of hits!
Still, I wouldn't spend a whole lot of time with this anyway. But the
email in question, at least to me, doesn't really look like a variant
of any of the regular spam emails circulating today. Heck, she isn't
even selling anything, and she didn't include a website address!
