Well if this job could be done using telecommuting - remember NYC is only 
600mSecs away, I would be very well rewarded indeed to take up this contract. 
$US40 converts to approx $NZ95 and one can live pretty comfortably, if not 
somewhat luxuriously, here in Christchurch, NZ on that rate. The very approx 
$NZ34,000 offered by this contract would provide quite a nice income to pay 
the basic living expenses, and leave time for extra work as can be obtained.

Sincerely etc.
