  Dear Client,
  
  This communication is being issued as part of our institution’s compliance with U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations under Chapter 3 of the Internal Revenue Code. All non-U.S. persons who receive income from U.S. sources must have a valid Form W-8BEN on record to confirm foreign tax residency and ensure proper withholding in accordance with applicable treaties.
  
  Our records indicate that your certification has expired. In order to remain compliant with IRS requirements, renewal of your W-8BEN documentation is mandatory. If an updated form is not submitted, U.S. law requires withholding at the default 30% rate on all relevant income payments.
  
  To renew your certification, please complete the process using our secure compliance portal:
  
  Update Tax Documentation
  
  This online renewal process is secure, efficient, and fully compliant with federal standards. Renewing now ensures that your tax information remains accurate, that treaty benefits are applied correctly, and that your account remains in good standing.
  
  Should you have any questions or require assistance, please reach out to our Compliance Department for support.
  
  We appreciate your immediate attention to this important matter and your continued cooperation in meeting your U.S. tax documentation responsibilities.
