Good day to you Sgt.
I will have you know that I am farther on in my military knowledge than you would think. And that no sergeant is his right mind (let alone one in united States Military service) would be contacting a 19 year old kid in IL trying to give him 25,000,000 dollars.
Also, being as far on in my knowledge of the military, I honestly don't think the United States Military would allow an soldier in your detachment access to this amount of money, and 25 million is an awful lot of money to be making in "some oil deal." Why scam it off to some punk kid you know nothing about, hm? As a mobile unit, you should be transferring that money over to your headquarters, because that is a lot of money to carry around in Iraq, where there is a good chance you will be ambushed. Not a good idea my friend.

But here's the rub, sergeant. A public affairs detachment has no business in making oil deals or anything of the sort. As a member of Public Affairs, you should be taking photos of REAL TROOPS fighting and sacrificing their lives so you can continue to call yourself an American, a FREE American. So, I have seen through your shoddy excuse of a scam e-mail.

Thus let's dispense with the bullshit.
Fuck you, go to hell, there are better ways of making money than trying to bullshit some kid's bank account out of him trying to pass off as an honorable soldier in our Armed forces. Get a real job you lowlife scum. Shovel your grandma's sidewalk if you must. Consider this exchange over. You are going back on my block list. You obviously have my e-mail address, get my house address so I can shoot you in person.

Have a pleasant evening.
