A proxy card to vote your Savings Plan shares and any shares of restricted stock
you own for this year's annual meeting is scheduled to arrive at your address
within the next three weeks through the U.S. Mail. If you have requested hard
copies of the annual report or proxy statement (by e-mail or fax to David
Whitehurst), those will be mailed to you as well.

Your vote is important. When your proxy card comes in the mail, you may choose
to vote by internet, phone, or mail. The website and phone number to Mellon
Investor Services, the independent proxy tabulator, and a control number, are on
the proxy card to vote by internet or phone. A return envelope is provided if
you decide to return your vote by mail. The proxy tabulator will keep your vote
confidential no matter which voting method you choose.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
