Dear Sir / Madam,

List of names for suspicious account reporting - US Executive Order

Further to my letter of 25 November, I am writing to inform you that the
US Government has recently added three individuals to the list issued under the US Executive Order 13224. In addition, new aliases for an entity "Jam'at al Tawhid Wa'al-Jihad", which was designated under the Order on 15 October 2004, have also been added to the list. The relevant information can be found on 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 respective headings of "Name of individual designated on
17 December 2004", "Names of individuals designated on 21 December 2004" and "Details of Specially Designated Global Terrorist [SDGT] Entities".

Please review your records and report any transactions or relationships you have or have had with the named individuals and 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
Deputy Chief Executive
