In certain limited contexts these things actually do serve a purpose.
If a lawyer on one side of a legal dispute accidently emails a
confidential document to a lawyer on the other side the presence of such
a disclaimer can prevent the document from being used in court.  Lawyers
evidently figure that the things can do no harm in contexts where they
don't apply, not realizing how irritating they are to normal people.

At least this one requests that you delete the message rather than
purporting to order you to do so.
