It's a scam. One tried to do the same to me. Look under yahoo!groups under "Romance Scams". Beleive it or not, it is a scam. There is a Nigerian one and a Russian one.
You can also do a regular search on your computer by typing in "romance scams" and you will find all you need to know. Mine was working in Africa at the time and needed money. Within a few short emails he declared his love for me. He sent a pic and I found it on a models website thanks to the support of the yahoo!romancescams group. It's not his pic, just some models he pulled up. There are support groups for this too. Just please, DONT SEND THE MONEY!

dont do it, its a scam i recieved 2 letters from this same continent yesterday asking for my bank account and all with a fabricated story about a person who had died and how i might be able to help because of my last name.....with everyone in the world i know i am not the only one in the world that shares my surname, this guy has sent the same email to others with my last name in the hopes that someone who provide their bank account so they could get rich off someone. listen to your intuition, it is there for a reason it is telling you that something is not right....it is better to be safe than sorry.....

Don't do it. It's absolutely a scam. I believe I actually saw a 60 minutes episode about this particular scam.

Don't do it. Every African guy I have met online pull that same scam. You give him your bank account number and you will never see him or your money again.

You hear the alarm bells for a reason. Please heed them. I'd put money on it being a scam.
