Dear Sir/Madam,
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1483
United States Executive Order 13224 ("Executive Order")
Further to my letter of 18 December 2003, I am writing to inform you that the US Government has designated an additional name under the Executive Order. The information 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 the Name of Individual Designated on 22 December 2003.
Besides, the US Government has also added new information to the designation list under Specially Designated Global Terrorist [SDGT] Entities. Detailed information is set out in Annex.
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 ("JFIU").
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.
