*********************************************************
Hongkong Post announced at 6.30pm today (August 8) that all the chits were distributed to customers by the close of business of the philatelic post offices (except Cheung Chau Post Office, Peak Post Office and Sai Kung Post Office) for the purchase of "Beijing 2008 Olympic Equestrian Events" limited edition products, which will be released tomorrow (August 9). Stock available for sale at these three post offices is listed at the Appendix.
In order to minimise the inconvenience to customers queuing outside the post offices during inclement weather, Hongkong Post made special arrangements to distribute chits to queuing customers starting from 4pm today. Customers with a chit should return to the designated post office for purchase of the limited edition products at least one hour before the post office closes tomorrow. During the last hour before the post office closes, any stock not purchased by customers with chits will be put on sale to other customers.
For enquiries, please call the Hongkong Post Philatelic Bureau hotline 2785 5711 or visit Hongkong Post¡¦s website (www.hongkongpost.com).
