Dear Sir / Madam,

Further to my letter of 20 January 2004, I am writing to inform you that the US Government has recently added four entities to the list issued under the US Executive Order 13224. The relevant information can be found in the website of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Treasury (http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/eotffc/ofac/sanctions/terrorism.html) under the heading of "Name of entities designated on 22 January 2004". Please review your records and report any transactions or relationships you have or have had with the named entities to the Joint Financial Intelligence Unit and the HKMA. You are also reminded to browse the above website regularly for the latest information.

Yours faithfully,

William A. Ryback
