I love the “in case you’re disinterested, please let me know” bit. “Hey, buddy, how about if we _start_ from the presumption that I’m not interested? It’ll save us both a lot of time.”
In a different way, it reminds me of an emergency test email that a certain colleague once sent our campus. At the end of which he had written, “If you didn’t receive this message, please let me know.”

We all “recognize” this for what it is (no application needed).
