Hello everyone!

I'm an active Acala network and Polkadot ecosystem user who believes in its future.
I am pleased that the system provides the ability to return funds that were mistakenly transferred.

2022-05-11 17:28:30 I accidentally [sent](https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/0xbbc0738087df6875137fd8aed2e533b243dc660a1b428b97e79174d37226fed6) 254.1591507553 DOT from Polkadot to Acala to the null(0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) address. In fact, from the extrinsic details, I observed that these DOT were [crossed out](https://polkadot.subscan.io/xcm_message/polkadot-89bc9819c0d0315bbc0889808e05fa0529e61dfd) to the Acala network to address [zsbavR2qukGZb3e4KoEn1fFTrRwYqJCtQYK9qS1dYwspQF3](https://acala.subscan.io/account/zsbavR2qukGZb3e4KoEn1fFTrRwYqJCtQYK9qS1dYwspQF3).

This happened during the migration of the bridge from 1-way to XCM 3.0. I did it through my js code, where the mistake took place(related to the migration). Also, I tried to reproduce (not fill in the address) from Polkadot-js extension and it's still working [the same way](https://acala.subscan.io/xcm_message/polkadot-15276192a0d3800ecdbbb80adefffac4960862e0).

**I fully admit that this was my mistake, but I'm hoping that the community will understand my pain and take my side.**

I'm asking the community to support me with resolving this case, because:
1) The account [zsbavR2qukGZb3e4KoEn1fFTrRwYqJCtQYK9qS1dYwspQF3](https://acala.subscan.io/account/zsbavR2qukGZb3e4KoEn1fFTrRwYqJCtQYK9qS1dYwspQF3 ) has only one my extrinsic (except 1 sudo), so I assume that no one has access or is using it and these ~254 DOT is still on this account after more than half of year
2) The amount is quite big (as for me)
3) From my perspective, it is obvious that the transaction was made mistakenly and its rollback will not make anyone worse. But for one happy person in the world, there will be more. 

A few days ago I saw that in the Bifrost network, the user [returned back](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/democracy/referendum/162) accidentally sent KSM through the governance. That's why I decided that my case is similar and in theory, my tokens might be returned.

I created a [discussion](https://acala.discourse.group/t/return-back-dot-mistakenly-xcm-transferred-to-null-address/2048) regarding my issue and the community [advised](https://acala.discourse.group/t/return-back-dot-mistakenly-xcm-transferred-to-null-address/2048/5) me to create this proposal.

Please support my proposal. Much appreciated!

- The person accidentally sent some money to the wrong address.
- They are asking the community to help them get their money back.
- They believe that no one else has access to the account where the money was sent.
- The amount of money is important to them.
- They think that returning the money will make someone happy.
