Subject: Tesco Crisis: Accounting Probe Launched

Dear Sir,

What I have to discuss with you should remain between us and even if you are not willing to assist you should not disclose it to another person.

I am Laurie McIlwee the former Chief Financial Officer of Tesco Plc (TSCO).

I need your assistance to enable safe guide my money deposited in one of the Asia bank since I will face questions as part of the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC) investigation about our activities.

The FRC confirmed on Monday that it had commenced an inquiry into the "preparation, approval and audit" of Tesco's financial results following the disclosure that its profits had been overstated by £263 millions.

Members of Tesco's audit team at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) will also be central to the FRC inquiry, which will examine statements dating back to the year ended 25 February 2012, and their impact on "the matters reported in the company's interim results for the 26 weeks ended 23 August 2014".

The accounting body's inquiry will run alongside that of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), which said in November that it had launched a criminal probe into the affair.

I resigned in April 2014 and left Tesco's head office almost immediately after being asked not to return by the then chief executive, Philip Clarke.

After my departure, Mr Clarke formed a separate finance committee to oversee the preparation of future financial statements.

The £263 million was shared about least eight executives whom have since left the company, which I got 30% of the fund and immediately deposited it into a bank account in Asia country.

I want you to know that FRC has the power to impose unlimited fines and bans on individual members and member firms following formal disciplinary procedures. So i want this fund to be transferred into your bank account in case the case go against me.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Please get in touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further.

Provide me with the information below:

i. Full Name:
ii. Home or Office address:
iii. Age:
iv. Occupation:
v. Country of origin:
vi. Telephone:


This is to affect the swift transfer of this fund into your account in less than Three (3) Working days.

Your faithfully,
Laurie McIlwee
