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 6 June 2007. The purpose of the seminar is to update the industry on the current issues and developments in relation to anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing. It also provides a forum for the industry to share experience and discuss matters of common interests. Compliance officers and managing staff with responsibility for anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing controls and compliance are encouraged to attend the seminar. Because of the limited number of seats available, each institution is requested to nominate only one representative to attend the seminar. Please discuss with the HKMA if more seats are required.

The programme and the registration form for the seminar are attached. More details about the seminar are available at the Narcotics Division's website (http://www.nd.gov.hk/moneylaundering_talk.htm). In order to facilitate logistical arrangements, please complete and return the registration form to the HKMA by email at aml@hkma.finnet.hk by 21 May 2007. Unless otherwise advised, you may assume the representative is admitted to the seminar if the registration form is returned before the deadline. Please retain a copy of your registration form and bring it along to the seminar venue to facilitate the registration process.

If you have any questions regarding the seminar, please contact Mr Ronnie Wong at 2878 1399 or Ms Sophia Lam at 2878 8281.

Yours faithfully,

Raymond Chan
Head (Banking Policy Division)
