Re: April 8, 1996 Mailing of Fairfield Communities, Inc. Proxy Materials
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We wrote to you on April 4, 1996, advising you that an error had
occurred in the April 1, 1996 proxy mailing for Fairfield Communities, Inc.,
and followed up by mailing the proper proxy statement, dated April 8, 1996,
and a BLUE proxy card, which was to replace the WHITE proxy card included in
the April 1, 1996 mailing. We have now discovered that the BLUE proxy card
was mistakenly printed and duplicated the errors of the WHITE proxy card. We
have corrected the proxy card and reprinted it on YELLOW paper. The
corrected YELLOW proxy card is enclosed, for you to vote your shares of
Fairfield Communities, Inc. stock. Please do NOT return the WHITE or BLUE
proxy cards - you should vote your shares of Fairfield Communities, Inc.
stock using the YELLOW proxy card included with this mailing.
The proper materials for Fairfield Communities, Inc.'s proxy
solicitation consist of (a) the 1995 Annual Report, included in the April 1,
1996 mailing, (b) the April 8, 1996 Notice of the 1996 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of Fairfield Communities, Inc. and related Proxy Statement and
(c) the enclosed YELLOW proxy card. The April 1, 1996 Notice of the 1996
Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Fairfield Communities, Inc. and related
Proxy Statement and the WHITE and BLUE proxy cards should be discarded.
PLEASE MARK YOUR VOTE ON THE ENCLOSED YELLOW PROXY CARD, SIGN YOUR NAME
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS, DATE THE CARD AND RETURN IT TO US IN THE
ENCLOSED POSTAGE PREPAID ENVELOPE.
This is the second error by Boston EquiServe in mailing Fairfield
Communities, Inc.'s 1996 proxy materials. Boston EquiServe is the largest
stock transfer agent in the United States, handling proxy mailings for
thousands of the best known companies in America. Errors of the type
encountered in the Fairfield Communities, Inc. mailing are unprecedented. We
sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused, and want you to know that
Boston EquiServe, and not Fairfield Communities, Inc., is bearing the
additional expenses incurred as a result of these errors.
