illusive - based on or having the nature of an illusion; "illusive hopes of finding a better job"; "Secret activities offer presidents the alluring but often illusory promise that they can achieve foreign policy goals without the bothersome debate and open decision that are staples of democracy"


e•lu•sive (ɪˈlu sɪv) also e•lu•so•ry (-sə ri, -zə-)

adj.
1. eluding one's clear perception; hard to express or define.

This was probably the worst of his errors in two emails that he has sent so far, but lots of other minor ones. You are certainly correct that he thinks in terms of illusions.

His last email started with "OK, I guess I'll just burn these letters..." If that's not a scam line to draw me back in, I'm the proverbial uncle to that monkey.
