Subject: Request to Enable Service Access in Syria
Dear Team,
I am writing to request that service access be enabled for users in Syria.
Following the lifting of the comprehensive trade embargo on Syria announced by the U.S. Treasury in December 2025, all sanctions on Syria have now been lifted by both the United States and the European Union. Syria is no longer listed under OFAC's embargoed countries.
For reference:

2- OFAC sanctions programs overview: https://ofac.treasury.gov/sanctions-programs-and-country-information
I have also attached relevant supporting documentation from https://unblocksyria.com/resources.
Several other companies have already enabled access. As millions of Syrians work to rebuild their country, access to global digital services is increasingly important.
I kindly request a review of the current restriction and would appreciate confirmation on whether Syria can now be onboarded and supported on your platform.
Best regards,

Hi,
I wanted to share something important for myself and other Syrians.

Despite this, many Syrians still cannot access your company's services, even though it is now legally permissible. Would you be open to raising this with your legal or compliance team?
There's also a helpful resource at https://unblocksyria.com with official documentation they can reference. Happy to share more details if useful.
Best regards,
