This is the first time I've seen this sort of message on the internet,
but I have seen it before in the "insurance" agency. It usually goes
like this:

* Notice To: Small business owners, shopkeepers, or Vested Interest
* Merchants. Due to [insert your organization here]'s limited list of
* customers, it is not our policy to remove anyone from our list of 
* potential hazards free of charge. To be removed from our list of
* potential hazards, a [daily/weekly/monthy/yearly] charge of [insert 
* your price] is required. Just place the money in an plain brown paper 
* bag (please use unmarked small bills). One of our associates will stop 
* by to pick up the payment. 

* Furthermore, [your organization's name] reserves the right to cancel
* its protection policy at anytime. Cancellation of our policy by outside
* parties is prohibited, and will be charged a [insert your price] fee per
* cancellation. Proof of cancellation will be sent to all parties
* involved, delivered personally by group of our associates.
* [your organization's name] will protect and maintain its interest.

So, do we get to keep our lunch money, or do they want that too?
