A bottled message

Sure this is the place? Yeah,replied Jeremy as he threw down his shovel to roll up his sleeves, the tip is never wrong. Alright, let's get started it's almost morning and I'll like to get rich soon.
Who's in there anyway? Asked Richie as he plunged his shovel into the ground.
Some old guy died of a heart attack few weeks back. Best part is his smart ass family thought it was alright to bury him with a two million dollar ring for some sentimental mumbo-jumbo. Jeremy replied.
Man! We've been at this for hours, I feel like my arms are about to fall off, complained Richie.
You better keep digging or we're splitting seventy-thirty, besides it's been thirty minutes genius, said Jeremy as he felt the shovel hit something hard. The sound sent them into a digging frenzy, before they knew it, the coffin was out, they stopped and looked at each other for a second.
Quick, help me get it open yelled Jeremy. They both struggled until the coffin opened. The old man there alright with something in his hand,not a ring but a bottle containing a note with four words "beat you to it".
