Exhibit 99.7

FORM OF LETTER TO BROKERS AND OTHER NOMINEE HOLDERS

HANMI FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Up to 50,000,000 Shares of Common Stock To Be Issued Upon the Exercise of Subscription Rights

June 11, 2010

To Security Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:

This letter is being distributed to securities dealers, commercial banks, trust companies, and other nominees in connection with the rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) by Hanmi Financial Corporation (the “Company”) of shares of its common stock (“Common Stock”), which will be issued in connection with the exercise of non-transferable subscription rights (the “Subscription Rights”), which are being distributed to all holders of record (the “Recordholders”) of Common Stock as of 5:00 p.m., New York time, on June 7, 2010 (the “Record Date”). The Subscription Rights and the Rights Offering are described in the prospectus supplement, dated June 11, 2010, which is enclosed with this letter (the “Prospectus”).

In the Rights Offering, the Company is offering up to an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the exercise of the Subscription Rights, which is described further in the Prospectus. The Subscription Rights will expire, if not exercised earlier, at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on July 6, 2010, unless the Company elects in its sole discretion to extend the period of the Rights Offering beyond this date (as such date may be extended, the “Expiration Date”).

As described in the Prospectus, each Recordholder will receive one Subscription Right for each share of Common Stock owned on the Record Date. Subscription rights may only be exercised in whole numbers. Each whole Subscription Right will allow the holder thereof to subscribe to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”) at a subscription price of $1.20 per share. For example, if a Recordholder owned 1,000 shares of Common Stock on the Record Date, the Recordholder would receive 1,000 Subscription Rights and would have the right to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock for $1.20 per share pursuant to your Basic Subscription Privilege.

In addition, if the holder of Subscription Rights exercises the holder’s Basic Subscription Privilege in full, then the holder will be eligible to subscribe to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, subject to the conditions and limitations described further in the Prospectus (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”). We will not accept any over-subscription requests for less than 10,000 shares of our common stock, except from our non-executive officers and employees from whom we will accept over-subscription requests for 1,000 or more shares of our common stock. The Company offers no assurances that any subscription requests that any holder of Subscription Rights may submit pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege will be fulfilled in whole or in part.

Each holder of Subscription Rights will be required to submit payment in full for all of the shares of Common Stock that the holder wishes to buy under the holder’s Basic Subscription Privilege and pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege to Computershare Inc. (the “Subscription Agent”), by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date. Any excess subscription payments that a Subscription Rights holder may pay to the Subscription Agent in the Rights Offering will be returned, without interest or penalty, to the holder by the Subscription Agent as soon as practicable following the earlier of when the Company has received total subscriptions in the rights offering and the best efforts public offering (described further in the Prospectus) of at least $105,000,000 in the aggregate, or the closing of the transaction with Woori (described further in the Prospectus) (the “Escrow Release Date”), or such earlier time as the Company may cancel the rights offering in its sole and absolute discretion. If the Escrow Release Date has not occurred on or prior to November 15, 2010, the Company will cancel the rights offering and the Subscription Agent will return the subscription payments received in the rights offering, without interest or penalty.

The Subscription Rights are evidenced by subscription rights certificates (each, a “Subscription Rights Certificate”) registered in the Recordholder’s name. Subscription Rights are non-transferable, meaning that they may not be sold, transferred, or assigned by the Recordholder to any other party.

We are asking persons who hold shares of Common Stock beneficially and who have received the Subscription Rights distributable with respect to those shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee, as well as persons who hold certificates of Common Stock directly and prefer to have such institutions effect transactions relating to the Subscription Rights on their behalf, to contact the appropriate institution or nominee and request it to effect the transactions for them. In addition, we are asking beneficial owners who wish to obtain a separate Subscription Rights Certificate to contact the appropriate nominee as soon as possible and request that a separate Subscription Rights Certificate be issued.

If you exercise the Subscription Rights on behalf of beneficial owners of Subscription Rights you will be required to certify to the Company, the Subscription Agent, and the Information Agent (as defined below), with respect to each beneficial owner of Subscription Rights on whose behalf you are acting, as to the aggregate number of Subscription Rights that have been exercised and the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and, in connection with any subscription request pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege, the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege. We also request that you indicate whether the beneficial owner has certified that they are an employee of the Company.

All commissions, fees, and other expenses (including brokerage commissions and transfer taxes), other than fees and expenses of the Subscription Agent and Georgeson (the “Information Agent”), incurred in connection with the exercise of the Subscription Rights will be for the account of the holder of the Subscription Rights, and none of such commissions, fees, or expenses will be paid by the Company, the Subscription Agent, or the Information Agent.

Enclosed are copies of the following documents:


	•	Prospectus;

	•	Subscription Rights Certificate;

	•	Instructions For Use of Hanmi Financial Corporation Subscription Rights Certificates (including an accompanying Notice of Guaranteed Delivery for Subscription Rights Certificates Issued by Hanmi Financial Corporation);

	•	A form of letter that you may send to your clients for whose accounts you hold shares of Common Stock registered in your name or the name of your nominee (including an accompanying Beneficial Owner Election Form);

	•	Nominee Holder Certification, which must be completed and submitted by you if you exercise the Subscription Rights, including the exercise of the Basic Subscription Privilege and any subscription request pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege, on behalf of any beneficial owners of Subscription Rights; and

	•	A return envelope addressed to the Subscription Agent.

Your prompt action is requested. To exercise the Subscription Rights, you must deliver the properly completed and signed Subscription Rights Certificate (or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery if you are following the guaranteed delivery procedures), together with payment in full of the total subscription amount that is required for all of the shares subscribed for under the Basic Subscription Privilege and any additional shares subscribed for pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege, to the Subscription Agent as described further in the Prospectus. The properly completed and signed Subscription Rights Certificate or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, in either case accompanied by full payment of the total subscription amount, must be received by the Subscription Agent by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date. Failure to return the properly completed Subscription Rights Certificate with the correct payment will result in your not being able to exercise the Subscription Rights held in your name on behalf of yourself or other beneficial owners. A Subscription Rights holder cannot revoke the exercise of Subscription Rights. Subscription Rights not exercised before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date will expire.
