That option wants a filename to put into the delivered message, not the 
contents of the file. Something like
Attachment Warning Filename = %org-name%-Attachments-Read-Me.txt
would be a suitable setting IIRC. It's what the replacement attachment 
warning will be called, not what will go in it. If you can come up with 
a better explanation than is currently in the MailScanner.conf file, 
then please let me know, as the current explanation is far from ideal.

If you want to set the text to go into the Attachments-Read-Me.txt, then 
you should be setting
# Set where to find the message text sent to users when one of their
# attachments has been deleted from a message.
# These can also be the filenames of rulesets.
Deleted Bad Content Message Report = 
%report-dir%/deleted.content.message.txt
Deleted Bad Filename Message Report = 
%report-dir%/deleted.filename.message.txt
Deleted Virus Message Report = %report-dir%/deleted.virus.message.txt
Deleted Size Message Report = %report-dir%/deleted.size.message.txt

# Set where to find the message text sent to users when one of their
# attachments has been deleted from a message and stored in the quarantine.
# These can also be the filenames of rulesets.
Stored Bad Content Message Report = %report-dir%/stored.content.message.txt
Stored Bad Filename Message Report = 
%report-dir%/stored.filename.message.txt
Stored Virus Message Report = %report-dir%/stored.virus.message.txt
Stored Size Message Report = %report-dir%/stored.size.message.txt
