SUBJECT: HONG KONG: GIFT FROM SIR SHIU KIM TANG

..In Confidence

1.

Further to our telephone conversation on 6 June,

I enclose a copy of Sir S K Tang's letter of

10 March 1986, and Hong Kong telegram nos 1377

and 1746 to provide you with some background.

Enclosures-flag(s)..

2. We should be grateful for your views on how

best to proceed. It seems to us preferable to pass

to you the capital sum of £1 million, and for you

to deposit it in trust, using the interest for

the purposes suggested by Sir S K Tang. We would

hope that you could include the payment to the medical

charity as part of the overall arrangements. You

suggested that we might hand the money over

to you under cover of a letter setting out the conditions

under which you were to hold the £1 million in trust,

and expend the interest. This would be acceptable,

subject to the views of Hong Kong.
