Dear Capital One Customer,

As we have communicated over the course of the last week, Epsilon-a 
marketing vendor that sends e-mails on our behalf-notified us about 
unauthorized outside access to files that included Capital One(r) customer 
e-mail addresses.

The information obtained was limited to the e-mail address of some 
customers. No account information or other information was compromised. 
We'll continue to provide updates when we have important new information 
to share. And, we'll let you know what impact, if any, these developments 
will have on you.

Protecting our customers' information is always a top priority for Capital 
One. We're working with Epsilon and law enforcement, and we're thoroughly 
investigating this incident to help prevent future ones like it. Epsilon 
is also conducting its own comprehensive investigation in cooperation with 
the appropriate authorities.

It's always a good idea to ignore any e-mail that requests your 
confidential account or login information. And don't forget, if you get an 
e-mail you think is suspicious, don't click any of the links. Just send it 
to us at abuse () capitalone com. Then delete it.

We apologize for any inconvenience this unfortunate incident has caused 
and appreciate your patience. For more information, please visit our Web 
site at www.capitalone.com.

Sincerely,
Capital One
