   Hi,

   We are interested in possibly acquiring your website, www.******* as it would be a good strategic fit for our web portfolio. If you’re interested in discussing further please let me know.

   A little about us – we are representing a small and privately owned company with a $5 million fund for investing in websites. They are headquartered in Denver with a workforce of around 100 people. Please also note that our due diligence process is painless – all we care about is *traffic* so when the time comes we will need to see your Google Analytics and then can submit a firm bid to you. We pay all cash — no “earn-outs” and other gimmicks.

   I hope to hear from you soon.

   Thanks,
   Cristina Cello
