Dear HSBC Client,
We recently have determined that different computers have logged into your account, and multiple password failures were present before the login.
As a result,your account has been limited.
We value a lot the safety of our clients and for these reasons your account has been selected carefully from a huge list as a subject of review.
To start using your HSBC account again,all you have to do is to re-confirm your personal details.
