Default At last - my fortune awaits

Most of us have seen scam emails usually from Nigeria offering to give you a percentage of a huge sum of money just because you're a well deserving and thoroughly nice bloke.
This arrived this evening and has a slightly different slant on the same theme.

Dear Friend,

Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to you as a surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go on a long way to determine my future and continued existence.Please allow me to introduce myself.I am CAPTAIN GREG, in 4th Battalion, 64th Armored Regiment unit here that Patrols the helmand province, Afghanistan. I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you.

I am presently in Afghanistan and I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $25m (Twenty five Million United States Dollars) to you,as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here. This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:

Some money in US DOLLARS was discovered and concealed in barrels at a location in helman province when we conducted a foot patrol and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us.This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole.The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a Canadian contact working with the UN here (his office enjoys some immunity) I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package as he believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid, who before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative.

I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Afghanistan for you to pick up. I do not know how long I will remain here, as I have been lucky to survive 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention. This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you then Endeavour to contact me immediately and we would work out the necessary formalities but I pray that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.Contact me on my Email:greglittlemanjr@usa.com for further discussion.


Respectfully,
Captain Greg,
United States Soldier: Afghanistan


Now what should I do?

What -you mean it's not real? No wonga?

Joking aside I can't understand the mentality of someone who writes this kind of crap, let alone anybody falling for it.

Well more fool you then. I contacted Capt Greg and I have the money. Now should I share it with him when he comes back from 'Stan?
