If you send me an unsolicited email, you can't bind me legally by appending a stack of demands and requirements. Much the same would apply to printed correspondence sent by post. I am not bound by your demands unless I have signed a contract with you to that effect. Random lawyers can't impose conditions on me just by writing to me.
So yes, they're empty words, like a lot of what lawyers write.
