                 DON'T ALLOW TSI INCORPORATED TO BE TAKEN OVER!


June 25, 1999

Dear Fellow Stockholder,

An  individual  named J. J. Fauth and his newly  formed  entity  called the "JJF
Group,  Inc." have made an  unsolicited  $12.50 per share proposal that has been
determined inadequate by your Board of Directors.

DON'T BE MISLED! You may shortly receive proxy  solicitation  materials from the
"JJF Group"  asking you to support their efforts to replace three members of the
Board of Directors,  among other things. It is clear that this group's agenda is
to force a sale of TSI and to take the company private. They want to replace the
well-qualified  and dedicated  members of your Board with their  nominees and to
strip away certain defense  mechanisms enacted to protect  stockholders.  DO NOT
HELP THEM FACILITATE A PURCHASE AT AN INADEQUATE PRICE!

                           DO NOT VOTE ANY PROXY CARDS
                     UNTIL YOU HEAR MORE FROM YOUR COMPANY!

We will shortly mail to you proxy material  including YOUR COMPANY'S WHITE PROXY
CARD.  This material  will discuss the  reasoning  behind our decision to reject
this inadequate proposal.  We urge you to NOT VOTE ANY PROXY CARD sent to you by
this dissident group.
Please wait to hear more from your company. We appreciate your patience and your
support.

In the  meantime,  if you have any  questions  please  call our proxy  solicitor
Corporate Investor Communications, Inc. toll-free at (877) 460-9337.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

On behalf of your Board of Directors,

/s/ James E. Doubles

James E. Doubles
Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer
