They misspell it on purpose, believe it or not. It's mispelled to get thru junk mail filters...

I went to the Citibank website and they in fact did have this email on their "suspicious e-mail" list.

This is what the link breaks down to:
http://www.citigroups.com:3TNWkmX@ihm5jn0gb.DA.rU/?91ZYlo

it goes to a site ihm5jn0gb.DA.RU (ru= russia)
The citigroup part is to the left of the @ sign, which makes it a parameter sent to the webpage, but not really part of the web address.
