Dear    :
        
        I am writing to seek your assistance in completing the merger between
Professionals Group and Physicians Protective Trust Fund of Coral Gables,
Florida ("PPTF").  Pursuant to the merger, PPTF will merge into PICOM
Insurance Company to form a larger and more capable insurance organization
serving markets in the Midwest and Florida.  The full details concerning the
merger are included in the proxy statement/prospectus which was previously
mailed to you under separate cover.

        The Board of Directors of Professionals Group has recommended to the
shareholders that they vote in favor of the merger and we request that you send
in your proxy as soon as possible.  We believe that the merger will open new
markets and opportunities for PICOM Insurance Company and will further
Professionals Group's goal of building shareholder value.

        Please feel free to call me at (517) 347-6230 or PICOM's CFO, John Lang
at (517) 347-6207 should you have any questions about the merger. If you should

        Thank you for your continuing support.
