>Xavier runs a rare and antiquarian book shop. On Monday, he is particularly pleased to receive a complete set of Wisden Cricketers Almanack, including the Australian Wisdens, in mint condition. He hopes to sell this to Zachariah, a cricketing memorabilia collector, because he knows that Zachariah will keep the collection together, rather than breaking it up. Xavier sends an email to Zachariah, requesting that he come into his shop for an exclusive viewing. >Unfortunately, the Xavier mis-types the email address and the email is sent to Yuri, a rival book dealer. Although Yuri realises that the email is intended for Zachariah, he would also like to purchase a complete set of Wisden Cricketers Almanack.
>On Tuesday, Yuri goes to Xavier’s shop. Xavier has never met Zachariah and when Yuri tells Xavier that he has come in response to the email, Xavier immediately assumes that he is Zachariah and agrees to sell the Wisden set for £100,000. Yuri pays the price by cheque; Xavier comments that his signature is illegible. When Yuri returns to his own shop, he immediately divides the collection into four separate collections, selling each of the smaller collections to Jane, Kevin, Lois and Manuel for £30,000 each.
