>>>>>[What I need from you is the following.

I will provide you with explosives, protective clothing, a vehicle, an
Earth elemental which will obey your commands, and a canister. My
instructions concerning the canister are to be followed *precisely* if
you value your lives.

You will go to the house at >>encrypted<< and verify that it is
currently unoccupied. Any intruders must be killed, without attracting
outside attention: I do not expect this to be likely. You may, though,
possibly find casualties of the security system.

The house secured, you will command the Earth elemental to dig a pit in
the garden behind the house, to a depth of six feet and measuring six
feet by twelve feet. I would suggest you mark the required area by
lifting the turf and request the elemental excavate to the required
depth: these beings are disturbingly literal-minded.

Having done that, you will place your vehicle's cargo in the pit,
together with any corpses of deceased burglars, and fill it in,
replacing the turf neatly.

Next, you will set explosive and incendiary charges on the machinery in
the cellar and at the key points indicated on the building's structure.

Gather all the documents you can find and pile them in a corner of the
cellar. Do the same for the four sacks of clothing in the hall. Douse
them thoroughly with gasohol and place a thermite charge amongst them.

One of you will then don the protective clothing: the other will
withdraw while the protected one unseals the canister and follows the
written instructions therein as to the disposal of its contents. The
instructions must be followed *precisely*. When that is complete, leave
the cellar: remove the protective garb and don the pressurised air mask,
then go back and add the protective clothing to the pile for
incineration. Do not linger in the cellar, nor make any unnecessary
contact with any of the machinery therein, for your own safety.

This done, retreat to a safe location and detonate the explosives and
thermite.

I appreciate these orders may seem strange, but I am offering the sum of
>>high payment<< to ensure they are followed precisely.

+++++include credit transfer: 50% up front

There should be no opposition and no hazard, provided the instructions
are followed precisely. If they are not, then you will be in great
danger, both as a direct consequence of your mistake and because I will
be very angry: I have every confidence that you will not disappoint me,
however.]<<<<<
