Newcastle United Football Club – Premier Leagues näst sämsta lag – är, som bekant, ute till försäljning.
Ni har kanske hört att ett gäng nigerianska affärsmän sägs förbereda ett bud, enligt flera trovärdiga källor.
Efter lite grävande journalistik har bloggen kommit över det första, lite trevande affärsförslaget. Här har ni det nigerianska superbudet i sin helhet:

Dear Friend,
In order to transfer out (USD 612.6 M) Six hundred twelve million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) from National Westminster Bank uk. I have the
courage to ask you if you are capable, reliable and honest to assist us with this important business believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mrs. Nancy Brooks, the Chief Auditor of National Westminster Bank NI (NATWEST BANK). There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 and since then nobody has operated on this account again.
After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently, it would be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr.Smith B.Andreas,a foreigner, and a miner at kruger gold co., a geologist by profession,and he died since 1998.He opened a non-residential U.S dollar bank account.Since then no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this company does not know anything about this account and the
amount involved is (USD 612.6M) Six hundred twelve Million, six Hundred United States Dollars million dollars. I want to first transfer US$600,000,000:00 Six hundred
million United States Dollars from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest is transfered,but I don’t have any foreign partner.
Can you please be our partner in this very urgent matter?
Lastly, if you are intrested in assisting us in this transaction, kindly respond to my principal partner Dr.Donald Duke at(drddonald01@hotmail.com)
Telephone number(+44 704 011 0427 or 44 704 010 8365).
I look forward to your earliest reply
Mrs.Nancy Brooks
