      Dear Citibank Account Holder,



      On January 10th 2004 Citibank had to block some accounts in our system
connected with money laundering, credit card fraud, terrorism and check
fraud activity. The information in regards to those accounts has been passed
to our correspondent banks, local, federal and international authorities.

      Due to our extensive database operations some accounts may have been
changed. We are asking our customers to check their checking and savings
accounts if they are active or if their current balance is correct.

      Citibank notifies all it's customers in cases of high fraud or
criminal activity and asks you to check your account's balances. If you
suspect or have found any fraud activity on your account please let us know
by logging in at the link below.

All,

To report such issues for Citibank or Citicards, please refer to the
about email fraud link on www.citibank.com or www.citi.com.


Having used those links in the past and gotten a black hole (no ack,
and no way to really include header information and similar material,
for a phishing variant which was not listed among the known variants,
and included compromised site information), there really needs to be a
better way.

As mentioned, I got better luck from the hosting firm, but that's
still not very satisfactory.
