my profession, and earn the income necessary to live and s u P P o r ^ m H H H H B decently. Irecently consulted the web page of the Department of Treasury and specifically the SDN list whichis published by the OFAC office, with the hope that ray name had bee n removed from it because Ihad always been sure that you could verify my identity, my activities, my personal and family lifeand end up by concluiding that I am a law abiding citizen. Howe ver, I was dismayed to sec that myname continued to appear side by side to that of well-known criminals, terrorists, drug dealers andother people who have evidently violeted jo ur coun try's laws. My situation is far from that ofthose criminals, and this has motivated m e to ca ny out decidely this action now so that my name isremoved as soon as possible from the above mentioned list.

For this purpose.

I could clarify any doubts you may have about the veracity of the facts that Iam describing to y
