An Important Message Regarding Your The Place Card, Issued By Citibank (South Dakota), N.A (Epsilon)

Dear [Name],

Recently, Citi was notified of a system breach at Epsilon, a third-party
vendor that provides marketing services to a number of companies,
including Citi. The information obtained was limited to the customer name
and email address of some credit card customers. No account information or
other information was compromised and therefore there is no reason to
re-issue a new card.

Because e-mail addresses can be used for "phishing" attacks, we want to
remind our customers of the following:

* Citi Cards uses an Email Security Zone in all of our email to help you
recognize that the email was sent by us. Customers should check the Email
Security Zone to verify that the email you received is from Citi and
reduce the risk of personal information being "phished." To help you
recognize that the email was sent by Citi we will always include the
following in the Email Security Zone in the top headline portion of all
our emails: * Your first name and last name * Last four digits of your
Citi card account number * And recently to increase security, we have
added your "member since" date located on the front of your card, where
available.
