Washington, D.C. 20220
Attn: Recipient,
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) administers and enforces sanctions based on US foreign policy. OFAC acts under Presidential national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation to impose controls on Foreign TRANSACTIONS and assets under US jurisdiction. Also a provision of law that requires release of payments to any person's or organizations that meets the eligibility criteria established by law. This constitute a binding obligation on the part of the Federal government and eligible recipients have legal recourse if not fulfilled.
However, we strongly encourage “organizations subject to U.S. jurisdiction, as well as foreign entities that conduct business in or with the United States, U.S. persons, or using U.S.- services, to employ a risk-based approach to sanctions compliance by developing, implementing, and routinely updating a sanctions compliance program (SCP).” The Framework provides that even if no organization is subject to U.S. jurisdiction, "if a U.S. financial institution is involved in any payments associated with such transactions it could result in a prohibited activity.
And by virtue of provision of law according to our security manifest booklet, some outstanding transactions were processed through U.S. correspondent banks in apparent violations of Section 6(a) of Executive Order 13685 which confer on us powers to suspend a disbursement of $7,500,000.00 issued by Citibank addressed to this e-mail for extensive investigations. So not only are U.S. financial institutions subject to OFAC sanctions, but any persons that uses a U.S. bank in any transaction without authorization will also fall within OFAC’s jurisdiction and without Clearance according to the Global Security Decree of 2004 this could result in significant financial penalties.
Treat with Urgency.
Best Regards,
Ms. Brittany Gorman,
Asst Secretary,
Office of Foreign Assets Control
