Dear Christian,

 

It has recently come to our attention that the country of Syria is considered a “State Sponsor of Terrorism.”  We note that Syria is included in the list of territories on Schedule I of our Supply Agreement of December 4, 2006.  Accordingly, we request that Syria be removed from Schedule I of the Supply Agreement, and also that you confirm that no sales of our products have been made in Syria.  We also ask that the Schedule I list automatically be amended to remove any country which is determined by the United States to be a “State Sponsor of Terrorism,” or which is otherwise subject to United State export control laws.

 

Your signature below will serve as confirmation that you have not sold our products in Syria, and will also signify your agreement with the above changes to Schedule I of the Supply Agreement  Please sign and date where indicated below, and return this letter to my attention at:
