Forget About Brad Hudson's Salary, How Much is LetsRun.com Going to be Sold For

I thought you did more than Sirius and XMRS but Amazon. Now we can start to get a clue. Amazon made 190 million last year. If you are doing better than that, 10,000,000 seems a little on the cheap side.

Much more likely you're looking at a revenue multiple.

I'll give you eight bucks cash for it, but I want a t-shirt for my dog, too.

WEjo-

Wow. you think Letsrun pulls revenue? i would have done something like $0.10*(#of hits/year) + debt + synergies + brand.

Malmo, great work.....I could see this being done on "Sat. Night Live". Don't take less than $100K, and you don't have to report it to anyone on LR!!quote]malmo wrote:

Hello.

I am barrister Lionel Udokpa. I represent Mohammed Abacha, son of the late General Sani Abacha, who was the former military Head of State in Nigeria. He died in 1998. Since then, the family has been losing money due to the vindictive government officials who are bent on dealing with the family.

Based on this, therefore, the family has asked me to seek a foreign partner who can work with us as to move out a total sum of USD 75,000,000.00 (SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS). All of this can happen legally provided we acquire a valid US asset such as your Website, Letsrun.com, and its World famous message board.

This money was of course, acquired by the late president and is now kept secretly by the family. The Swiss government has already frozen all the accounts of the family in Switzerland, and some other countries would soon follow to do the same. this bid by some government officials to deal with this family has made it necessary that we seek your assistance in receiving this money and in investing it on behalf of the family.

This must be a joint venture transaction and we must all work together. since this money is still cash, extra security measures have been taken to protect it from theft or seizure, pending when agreement is reached on when and how to move it into any of your nominated bank accounts. I have personally worked out all modalities for the peaceful conclusion of this transaction. the transaction definitely would be handled in phases and the first phase will involve the moving of us $25,000,000.00( twenty five million united states dollars ).

My clients are willing to give you a reasonable percentage of this money as soon as the transaction is concluded. I will, however, based on the grounds that you are willing to work with us and also all contentious issues discussed before the commencement of this transaction. you may also discuss your

percentage before we start to work. As soon as I hear from you, I will give you all necessary details as to how we intend to carry out the whole transaction.

Please, do not entertain any fears,as all necessary modalities are in place, and I assure you of all success and safety in this transaction.

Please, this transaction requires absolute confidentiality and you would be expected to treat it as such until the funds are moved out of this country.

Please, you will also ignore this letter and respect Our trust in you by not exposing this transaction, even if you are not interested.

I look forwards to meeting with you in Mombasa, Kenya in March, at your convenience, as to effect the final transaction.

Thank you,

Truly yours,

BARRISTER LIONEL UDOKPA

Sidenote: I hate it when people find things amusing, and then say "this belongs on SNL" like it's some sort of universal home for humor.

That would never make it on to SNL (and my guess is Malmo isn't even the original author as there are tons of those emails floating around, but if you did write it, congrats) because it's not their brand of humor.

So say "That was funny."

I think you have to negotiate certain threads carefully...

Ziegles, Webb vs Ritz in a haiku contest, Post Nuptual Shutoff... those are all "Intellectual Property" and could be worth millions per thread.

Given the net worth of cross country and track and field in general, which isn't much, I'd say this site is worth about $2,000.

To the O.P....oh yeah Wejo or something like that...That is so lame that you would even 'threaten' this shit. Do it, or not, whatever, it's your gig, but don't send out a panic ripple. You remind me of a dumb bimbo deciding between frat boy #1 or #2 in the bathroom all coked up. If I had to give you my unsolicited advice, I would say, aim for the stars though. A million dollars these days is nothing, especially in the realm of selling websites (according to my in depth research via Rolling Stone mag).

Steve, it ain't "VO2Max doesn't mean anything" or "The Case Against Marryin' Jonz." All I did was locate an example of a typical Nigerian Oil Ministry Spam, format the text to lowercase, add a few words here and there and voila!

The government of Nigeria look forward to hear from you friend.

They do go to prison for recycling a joke that someone already posted.

"Hey, look at that snail's car go!"

I notice that Jdawg and Joeboxer both start with letter J. In our country there no such thing as coincidence.
