Should I sell it?

Screenshot of an email. Subject: "Offer to Purchase The New York Times"

Body: Hi Simon,

I hope this email finds you well. Wanted to see if I could get a hold of you regarding The New York Times. We have a PE firm that is actively acquiring businesses in your industry.

Are you available this week to discuss the opportunity?

I get these emails because someone that used to share my first name got my old work email address when they joined a previous employer. Then they left for a pretty senior role at the NYT and the data brokers got really confused.
