Dear Sir/Madam,

Anti-Money Laundering Seminar

I am writing to inform you that the Narcotics Division, the Joint Financial Intelligence Unit and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) will jointly hold an anti-money laundering seminar for the banking sector on 4 and 5 September 2006 (participants may choose to attend the seminar on either day). The purpose of the seminar is to brief the industry on some issues in respect of customer due diligence and suspicious transaction reporting. It also provides a forum for the industry to discuss matters of common concern relating to the fight against money laundering. Compliance officer(s) and managing staff with accountability for your institution's anti-money laundering controls and compliance are encouraged to attend the seminar.

The invitation letter, the programme, and the registration form for the seminar issued by the Narcotics Division are attached. In order to facilitate logistical arrangements, please complete the registration form (also indicating the preferred date of attendance of each representative) and return it to the HKMA by 18 August 2006.
