He had a draft copy 
Here is an email i shared with satoshi back in 2008.
Hello Satoshi.
I would like to talk to you about bitcoin and the future of curencies. You seem to have almost complete a revolutionary idea that has the potential to act at par with national paper currency.
All it needs is circulation and trust by exchange points and the idea of sharing profits with network nodes is brilliant. If you have ICQ or Twitter we can chat anytime.
Keep up this magnificent work,
His response.

Thank you for your kind words. That's the chicken and egg question, how to bootstrap usage. I don't have ICQ or Twitter, but I'm happy to answer any questions you have by e-mail.
