Well, unless there was a considerable reward involved,
I would not be happy either.

But we are talking about TEN MILLION DOLLARS deposited to
your account. Assuming that you are not already rich, won't that
be enough? If not, would any amount of money? How about
a *guaranteed* successful cryonics suspension and eventual upload?
I want to know what is the least benefit that you will part with
24 hours memory for.
