Citizens Bank: Please Confirm Your Data! (mess_id: nt4636143954500)

I seem to have managed to get a couple more of my emails onto phishers' cirulation lists and overnight I've received a couple of variations.

First was for Citizens Bank. Never heard of this place before - I assume it is an American Bank (they also targetted a .com email address). But the email is virtually identical to those doing the rounds for the NatWest. This one has the bank's name changed and a bit of use of colour to try to convince you that it's real. But it's a very cheap attempt.

As always, it's a very generic greeting "Dear business or corporate customer of Citizens Bank". Would any bank send such a general and unprofessional greeting to every customer?

Here's the email, in full technicolour!
