Here's one that I suppose could look very realistic. It was actually sent to a mis-spelling of my email address, so not sure how it got through.
Of course, a real email such as this wouldn't be broadcast to all UK customers - see the first line. It would also be personalised with your name to show it is from the bank. And I'm sure a real bank would be able to figure out how to use a £, instead of 'J'!
Lastly, the link wouldn't point to a website with the name zalups.cn. The site is blocked by Firefox - so if you are still using another browser, another reason for downloading the free Firefox browser and using that! See the link on the top right.
Here's the content of the email
