No, that is a complete misrepresentation of the teshuvah.  Whatever
he's saying, it's not that.  The truth is that he doesn't actually give
his reasons for agreeing with his correspondent that the letter he received
from the company could be trusted; he merely refutes one line of reasoning
that the correspondent proposed, gives a lengthy discussion of another line
of reasoning, and then concludes that nevertheless the letter can be relied
on.
