I'm sorry Emma... but I have to ask how the hell did you not spot this from the outset?
Body-language would tell you if you were speaking face-to-face that a person was iffy or just plain wrong and text carries with it just as many unseen hints at a person's true motives.

"hi how are you im going to LA next week do you have a showreel i would like to see if i can get you work over there im also a agent im taking 2 girls with me as i have got them loads of work have you got a website? or showreel? or i can produce a showreel for you, you seriously need to be getting booked up quickly not sure y u still got free dates you look amazing
let me kno babes"
This email is 'straight-in...' no introduction or salutation or attention to detail (the email is peppered with spelling and grammatical mistakes that would be ignored in small amounts since nobody is after a Pulitzer Prize but this missive is fucking awash with childish errors... and no professional would ever attempt to strike-up a working relationship with a model with so much use of text-speak. There is no evidence of even an attempt at formality which all indicate that this person feels safe to assume he can talk to you as if you already are known to each other. This tells me that he has some shared some intimacy with you prior to this correspondence. I am not saying you know each other in the regular sense - I mean that I suspect he is a fan who has spent some time with your pictures and movies, or at least enough time to subconsciously think it appropriate to write an email like this. The point is that a professional would have concentrated on professional detail not personal familiarity.
Take a look at the sudden, overly-familiar ending. "you look amazing
let me kno babes." I suspect this individual was actually getting aroused - and I'm dead serious about that.

No capitalization of name, the term "big companies" rather than name-dropping which is what you would want and expect, the same goes with his stable of models - no names on offer and no offer to send details on request.
The whole sentence structure is wrong and the paragraph jumps from one point to another rather than flowing logically - this is not helped by the absolute lack of punctuation. My suspicion again is that this is a message typed with one hand since the writer is concerned with getting from start to finish rather than the professional detail and the accurate transmission of information. Truncated word style and text-speak again demonstrate familiarity that should be absent at this early stage.
==========
Taken as a whole this person's transactions display a definite subconscious attempt at a personal relationship rather than a professional one.
One way to evaluate an introductory letter from a stranger is to measure tone using key words and phrases. Think of it like a line-graph that begins at zero (normal) and rises and falls when key words come into play.
A letter with no introduction drops into the negative section immediately. Every badly spelled word drops it further as does any word or phrase with is not professional. Most of us would use some familiarities and perhaps try to inject humour into an email to a stranger since that would make us come across as human and pleasant to work with but I think that everyone (in the biz)on this board would write an email who's graph would still remain in the plus (positive) area.
Another big signal is the speed and rhythm of the writing. I won't dwell on this too much but I'll point out that these emails look exactly like the naughty messages that fans send models. It's only the subject-matter that differs here but nevertheless the speed and rhythm of the message (evidenced by the lack of attention to detail and the overly familiar endings after a sudden stop). This is in keeping with the speed and rhythm of sex with someone you know... Quick intro, bang, bang, bang (with no delicacy) and then a quick ending after which some pillow-talk might be appropriate.
Instead of "you look amazing let me kno babes"...
Read, "you WERE amazing let me kno babes."
Analyzing people is part of what I used to do.
