Dear client of Halifax Bank ,
Today we had some trouble with one of our computer systems.
While the trouble appears
to be minor, we are not taking any chances. We decided
to take the troubled system offline and replace it
with a new system.
Unfortunately this caused us to
lose some member data. Please follow the link below
and log into your account to make sure your information
is not affected.
Because of the inconvenience this causes we are giving all
users that repair their missing data their next two
incoming transfers for free!
You will pay no fees for your next two incoming transfers*.
Best wishes ,
Jimm A. William ,
Online Security Advisor,
Halifax Bank plc.
*If fees would normally apply, you will not pay.
