It's a scam. Accountant.com is a free email domain and the Bank of England wouldn't use it for any official business. No legitimate business holds your money while waiting for you to send something by Western Union. There is no money being transferred to you. Just ignore the emails.

Welcome to Scamwarners skinek1987 and I confirm what vx says.

Your English is fine, and superior to the scammer's English and he can't even form a proper English name, which is very common with Nigerian scammers. He has made so many mistakes I can't list them all but for him to pretend that the Bank of England asks people to pay money by Western Union to Nigeria is ridiculous.

He's a scammer and you may not have sold your car, but at least he hasn't stolen your money.
