I think it's pretty clear that you should not send the requested info.

I have received similar emails as well.  Sometimes they even attempt to 
correct what /I/ have logged (They say, "I think you logged me as...." 
or "I think I may have mistakenly sent the wrong...")

Some I have simply deleted, but then they write again.  So I have 
started responding with polite emails that say the Contesting community 
frowns on inquiries like these and that he should cease sending them.  
I also state that if he wishes to wait until after the log submission 
deadline, he can email me again since I will now delete the original 
email.
