Question : problem with db_mail

I have a procedure that attaches the result of a query to an email, however the attachment is not the same of the select statement. Can someone offer suggestions why this is happening or provide an alternate solution?

The results of the select statement is:

Material Number      Business Group
123456      IPG
123456-001 234567      IPG
123456-001      ESS

however the attachment with the results is different (see attached file)

FROM ROHS.dbo.ROHS_TRANSLATION_REPORT', 
@attach_query_result_as_file = 1,
@query_attachment_filename ='Results.txt'
