Hello
Though I have not considered this medium to be the best manner to have approached you on this issue knowing that the Internet has been greatly abused over the recent years and is very unsecured for information of vital importance. I have decided to take the chance seeing that no other means could have been faster and more efficient than the E-mail.
I am Kathryn Porter, a Canadian Citizen, a Staff of Lloyds Bank United Kingdom and i have a very important issue to discuss with you.Please get back to me as soon as possible.
