Dear Head of FIU,

My warmest regards to you and your colleagues. I hope you all stay safe and healthy.

As you are aware, the Best Egmont Case Award (BECA) has been an annual contest designed to encourage all Egmont members to contribute to the Group’s money laundering and terrorist financing case database for the benefit of all FIUs and other AML/CTF stakeholders since 2011.

The Technical assistance and Training Working Group (TATWG) is responsible for this project and planning to publish the second BECA book which will include around 25-30 best case submissions from 2014-2020. On behalf of the BECA Publication project team, I would like to thank you for your contributions to the BECA over the years. After two rounds of discussion, I am pleased to inform that your case is recognized and recommended by the project team to be included in the second BECA book which is expected to be published by the summer in 2021.

As the second BECA book will be shared with a wider AML/CFT community and available in the Egmont Group website, the project team would like to seek for your continued support in following matters:

·       Authorization from your FIU for publishing the case.

  1. Reviewing and editing your case by using the attached template (word document). Please be informed the document should be in word document for further editing. Additional information such as
    • one-page graphic which outlines the ML network

      and/or
    • one image (JPEG) related to page media/news clip.

We will be working with a design agency and would greatly appreciate if you could provide your contribution by Wednesday, 25th November 2020 to the responsible Senior Officer of the Secretariat, Michelle Ouyang via ESW at michelle.ouyang@egmont.org or via open email at michelle.ouyang@egmontsecretariat.org If you have difficulty in access to ESW.

Enclosed please find the documents for your reference, including:
