It is quite easy to find out if you are the intended recipient. Just look 
at the "To:" and "CC:" fields of the message. If your email address isn't 
included, you are not the intended recipient. Therefore, maybe you should 
better not give any help but return the message as requested.

OTOH, I don't think it is wise to make fun of poor people who don't have 
the money needed for internet access at home, but only have the 
possibility to use their company mail account for communication. If that 
company automatically appends a nonsense boilerplate to every mail, I 
don't think it is good advertising for the company, but that's another 
story.
