Redtube for sale - check what I received before a while

You all know I am against this shit, I won't share any confidential information but this is what I received before a while, I knew the guy was trying to sell that a couple months ago, now he engaged a third party company to do it:

-------------------
Subject: Acquisition opportunity/confidentiality agreement

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We would like to inform you about an acquisition opportunity. The potential target (the "Target") operates an internet based business, is the world's leading company in its segment, derives its revenue from selling website ad space and generates very high free cash flow margins. The Target's website offers users a number of features (including video uploading/sharing), attracts 5 million visitors daily, ranks among Alexa's top 50 and business volume is growing at double digit rates per month on all measures. On a monthly basis our traffic metrics approximate 40 mio unique visitors, 150 mio visits and 1.2 bn page views.

Our shareholders have decided to offer the company/its assets for sale and we hereby invite you to participate in the sale process.

In case you are interested and would like to receive detailed information on the target, we ask you to complete the attached Confidentiality Agreement and email a scan of the signed document back to us. Please be so kind to also initial the document on pages 1 -4.

Once we have received the signed agreement we can provide you with the Selling Memorandum and further information regarding the sale process.

For record keeping, please send the signed original of the Confidentiality Agreement per postal mail to us at below address.

We would appreciate you participating in the sale process. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us by email at --------------------------- or by telephone.
