Sentence 2, though I would use a dash instead of a colon.

Re: and ?
A colon is perfectly correct here. In fact, this is an example of one of the most common uses of the colon - the opening clause establishes a set, the text following the colon lists the elements of that set. The dash is often used instead of a colon but it's simply a question of preference.
