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

Dear Sir/Madam,

I refer to my letter of 5 October 2001 advising you, among others, to examine whether you have had, or currently have, accounts, transactions or dealings with 27 entities/individuals listed in the Annex to the above Executive Order and to report any suspicious transactions to the Joint Financial Intelligence Unit ("JFIU").

I would wish to draw your attention that in addition to the 27 names, a list of 39 names of entities/individuals was added to the Executive Order on 12 October 2001. These entities/individuals are believed to be terrorist leaders, or to have links with such persons. The text of the Executive Order and the names are available on the website of the Office of Foreign Assets Control under the US Treasury (www.ustreas.gov/ofac). A list containing the 66 names downloaded from the above website is enclosed herewith at Appendix for your easy reference.

You are advised to review your records carefully to see whether you have had, or currently have, accounts, transactions or dealings with these 66 entities/individuals. If suspicious accounts, transactions or dealings come to light, you should promptly notify the JFIU 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
