Query runs in management studio but not in SQLAgent job

Question

I have the following query which runs fine in Management Studio but when I put it in a SQLAgent job it fails saying
Error formatting query, probably invalid parameters (SQLState 42000 Error 22050)I have tried changing Quote characters but to no avail.
Does anybody have any idea why this would be happening?
Regards
Ron

I have another SQLAgent job that is almost identical in what it does, ie sending an email with a query result and it works fine. See below.
Therefore it can't be permissions or dbmail setup but I cannot see what it is.
--== This is for SQL 2005 and higher. ==--
--== We will create a temporary table to hold the error log detail. ==--
--== Before we create the temporary table, we make sure it does not already exist. ==--
 IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.ErrorLog') IS Not Null
 BEGIN
 DROP TABLE tempdb.dbo.ErrorLog
 END
 --== We have checked for the existence of the temporary table and dropped it if it was there. ==--
 --== Now, we can create the table called tempdb.dbo.ErrorLog ==--
CREATE TABLE tempdb.dbo.ErrorLog (Id int IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
logdate DATETIME, procInfo VARCHAR(10), ERRORLOG VARCHAR(MAX))
--== We create a 3 column table to hold the contents of the SQL Server Error log. ==--
--== Then we insert the actual data from the Error log into our newly created table. ==--
 INSERT INTO tempdb.dbo.ErrorLog
 EXEC master.dbo.sp_readerrorlog
--== With our table created and populated, we can now use the info inside of it. ==--
 BEGIN
--== Set a variable to get our instance name. ==--
--== We do this so the email we receive makes more sense. ==--
 declare @servername nvarchar(150)
 set @servername = @@servername
--== We set another variable to create a subject line for the email. ==--
 declare @mysubject nvarchar(200)
 set @mysubject = 'Deadlock event notification on server
'+@servername+'.'
 --== Now we will prepare and send the email. Change the email address to suite your environment. ==--
 EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @recipients='[email protected]',
 @subject = @mysubject,
 @body = 'Deadlock has occurred. View attachment to see the deadlock info',
 @query = 'select logdate, procInfo, ERRORLOG from tempdb.dbo.ErrorLog where Id >= (select TOP 1 Id from tempdb.dbo.ErrorLog WHERE ERRORLOG Like ''%Deadlock encountered%'' order by Id DESC)',
 @query_result_width = 600,
 @attach_query_result_as_file = 1
 END
 --== Clean up our process by dropping our temporary table. ==--
 DROP TABLE tempdb.dbo.ErrorLog
