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

Dear Sir/Madam,

United States Executive Order 13224 ("Executive Order")

Further to my letter of 27 June 2003, I am writing to inform you that the US Government has designated additional names under the Executive Order issued on 23 September 2001. The list of additional names can be found in the website of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Treasury (www.ustreas.gov/offices/eotffc/ofac/sanctions/terrorism.html) under Names of Individuals/Those Designated on 8 August 2003, 21 August 2003 and 5 September 2003.

The US Government has also made some amendments to the names listed under Details of Specially Designated Global Terrorist [SDGT] Entities. A new name, Waldenberg AG, which is the successor organization of Al Taqwa Trade, Property and Industry Company Limited, formerly known as Himmat Establishment, was added on 25 August 2003. In addition, some aliases and clarifications, as detailed in Annex, have been added to the designation of Mujahedin-E Khalq, which was originally designated on 31 October 2001.

You should review your records carefully to see whether you have had, or currently have, accounts, transactions or dealings with the names identified in the list. If such review reveals any suspicious accounts, transactions or dealings, you should promptly notify the Joint Financial Intelligence Unit.

As the designated individuals and entities under the Executive Order may be updated by the US Government from time to time, you are reminded to browse the website of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Treasury regularly for the latest information.

Should you have any enquiries, please contact Mr. William Hsieh at 2867 4529 or Miss Connie Cheng at 2867 4815.





Yours sincerely,

(Ros K.T. Lam)
for Commissioner of Insurance
