8 November 2001

To: Chief Executive of all authorized insurance institutions
      carrying on long term business

Dear Sir/Madam,

I refer to my letters of 5 October 2001 and 19 October 2001 in respect of the above Executive Order issued by the US President.

The US Government designated under the Executive Order a third list of 22 names on 2 November 2001 and a fourth list of 62 names on 7 November 2001, in addition to the former two lists of 66 names, which are believed to be terrorist organizations, terrorist leaders, or to have links with such persons. The lists of these 22 names and 62 names are attached at Appendices A and B respectively for your reference. You are advised to browse the website of the Office of Foreign Assets Control under the US Treasury (www.ustreas.gov/ofac) regularly for the latest information.

You should review your records carefully to see whether you have had, or currently have, accounts, transactions or dealings with those 84 entities/individuals. If such review reveals any suspicious accounts, transactions or dealings, you should promptly notify the Joint Financial Intelligence Unit in order to ensure that you fulfill your obligations under section 25A of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance in the usual way.

Should you have any enquiries in this regard, please contact Mr. William Hsieh at 2867 4529 or Ms. Carol Hui at 2867 2551.

Yours sincerely,

(Benjamin Tang)
Commissioner of Insurance
