[MACKENZIE PARTNERS, INC. LETTERHEAD]
November 26, 1997
Re: Equity Office Properties Trust
Dear Equity Office Shareholder:
You recently received a Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus of Equity Office
Properties Trust, dated November 19, 1997, in connection with the proposed
merger of Beacon Properties Corporation with and into Equity Office Properties
Trust (the "Merger"). The proxy card enclosed with the Proxy Statement contained
a typographical error, and we are enclosing herewith for your use a revised
proxy card and a new self-addressed stamped envelope.
Proxy cards previously delivered by Equity Office shareholders voting "FOR"
the proposal stated thereon will be voted in favor of the Merger. Shareholders
who have not yet voted are encouraged to promptly do so by executing the
enclosed blue proxy card rather than the white card previously provided. If you
have voted and wish to change your vote, or if you have any questions about
voting, please contact us at (800) 322-2885 or (212) 929-5500.
Sincerely,
MACKENZIE PARTNERS, INC.
