DEAR WALLACE SHAREHOLDER:

      With only a short time remaining until Wallace's Annual Meeting, we wanted
to once again thank you for your support,  particularly those who tendered 73.5%
of Wallace's  outstanding  shares. Now, it is important to remember that whether
you  tendered or not,  you must once again show your  support by voting the GOLD
proxy card promptly.

      Clearly,  the Wallace Board continues to ignore the powerful  message from
its own shareholders  that you want them to meet with us immediately to conclude
a transaction  that serves the best  interests of Wallace and its  shareholders.
Instead of responding to your wishes,  they remain firmly entrenched and bent on
preserving their independence no matter what the cost to you.

      We believe  Wallace's  directors are simply  ignoring the reality that the
vast majority of their shareholders have said that a transaction with Moore will
provide greater value than an independent Wallace.

      Ask  yourself,  why does the Wallace Board refuse to sit down with us? Why
do they refuse to share the basis of their earnings and projections?

      In  our  opinion,   only  Wallace's  Board  will  benefit  from  remaining
independent.  Do not let them hide behind their anti-takeover  defenses. We need
your  support to get the 80% vote  necessary to remove the Board and rescind the
poison pill so that we will be able to purchase your shares.

      We urge you to vote "FOR" Moore's  nominees and "FOR" our three  proposals
today by sending in your GOLD card. Do not return any WHITE card you may receive
from Wallace.

      Do not  underestimate  the  importance of your vote, no matter how many or
how few shares you may own. We need the vote of all those who tendered plus just
a few percent more if we are to succeed in  overcoming  Wallace's  supermajority
provision.

      If you have any questions about voting your shares,  please call MacKenzie
Partners, Inc. toll-free at (800) 322-2885.

      Thank you for your continued support.

                                                  Sincerely,

                                                  /s/ Reto Braun

                                                  RETO BRAUN
                                                  Chairman & CEO
