Yes, CC licenses explicitly allow for giving notice with the a license
URL rather than a copy of the license.

As a practical matter I wouldn't use "CCNSP" as an abbreviation. AFAIK
nobody has ever used that, so it would not really convey any
information.

Shorter version:

This email is licensed under
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/nc-sampling+/1.0/

Also, I'm not sure why you would want to use this license for email.
Attribution-NonCommercial has very similar characteristics, is much more
widely used, and in my experience is more easily understood. URL for
the current version is http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/

Note that I am not a lawyer, etc. :)
