Looks like some lucky company is about to experience the joys of long,
legally meaningless disclaimers!

Better option: send the following URLs to the idiot who asked you to
do it:
http://www.somis.dundee.ac.uk/dataprotect/emaildis/emaildis.htm
http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/

Where do I place the disclaimer?

If you have not given up yet and you must use a disclaimer, then it
should really be at the top of the message, so readers, snoopers and
others are immediately warned of what follows. Having said that,
putting a disclaimer at the beginning of a message you'll probably
look completely mad, albeit precise.

(There is a guy on SLUG whose company has done exactly that -- all 40
 lines of disclaimer are _pre-pended_ to every outgoing email)
