• I will be paid $10,000 per day, in $50 bills, in a titanium briefcase that you will purchase for the sole purpose of providing a container for my money. You may not re-use the briefcase for the next day's payment.
• The $50 bills must have been printed in the last three months and handled by no more than 2 people.
• Anybody handling the money must do so with clean white gloves that must be placed on the hand immediately before touching the briefcase. If the hand leaves the briefcase, the white gloves must be replaced with new ones before the briefcase is touched again.
• I will arrive in your city by a private jet. Fuel and any other costs incurred by this trip will be paid by you, and is not included in the $10k/day fee.
• Transportation from my jet to your workplace must be performed by a driver who is between the ages of 50
