Dear Sir / Madam,

Supplement to the Guideline on Prevention of Money Laundering

Further to my letter of 8 June, I am writing to inform you that the revised version of the Supplement to the Guideline on Prevention of Money Laundering together with its accompanying Interpretative Notes was published in the Government Gazette today under section 7(3) of the Banking Ordinance. The revised version replaces and supersedes the previous Supplement issued in March 2003.

On-line access to these two documents (both the English and Chinese versions) is available under the icon of "Circulars and Guidelines" in the HKMA's public (http://www.hkma.gov.hk) and private web-sites.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Topping
Executive Director (Banking Policy)
