Here's exactly what Greece wants in its new 2-year bailout

Effectively, the Greek government is hoping to restructure its debt and is begging for a loan to avoid it defaulting today. Greece needs to make a €1.6 billion ($1.79 billion) payment to the International Monetary Fund by midnight although the country's Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said earlier today that it wouldn't make the deadline.
In the letter, which was first obtained by Politico, Tsipras asked for another loan but didn't even specify how much that would be.
Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem said in a tweet that the Eurogroup would hold an "extraordinary" conference call at 7 p.m. later today to consider the request.
Meanwhile, the letter has got everyone talking - but not because of its contents.
Is this a hoax?Looks more like a dodgy ransom note than a loan application. http://t.co/5kthR0pjSN
