Dear Shareholder:
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I cordially invite you to attend a
Special Meeting of Shareholders of docsales.com, inc. (the "Company"), to be
held at 11:00 a.m. local time on October 19, 1999, at the Company's offices at
3000 W. Warner Avenue, Santa Ana, California, 92704.
At the Special Meeting you are being asked to consider and vote upon a
change in the Company's corporate name to DOCPLANET.COM, INC. Recently, on
July 7, 1999, the shareholders of the Company met at the Annual Meeting of the
shareholders and voted to change the Company's name to docsales.com, inc. The
Board feels that this change in our Company's name has had a positive effect on
the Company and demonstrates our dedication to an internet strategy that will
put our Company in touch with many more customers. The Board now has determined
that a more appropriate name for the Company for the long term is DocPlanet.com,
Inc. We feel that DocPlanet.com, Inc. more accurately reflects the fundamental
intention of the Company: to provide the best pharmaceutical and medical
office products and services to as many healthcare facilities as possible by
utilizing the Internet as our resource for national sales.
You are urged to vote your proxy even if you currently plan to attend the
Special Meeting. Please remember to sign and date the proxy card; otherwise, it
is invalid. Returning your proxy will not prevent you from voting in person but
will assure that your vote is counted if you are unable to attend the meeting.
Please return your proxy as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
/s/ Charles R. Drummond

forth on the Proxy, and in the discretion of the persons named as proxies, on
such other matters as may properly come before the Meeting. Any Proxy may be
revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof by submitting another Proxy

PROPOSAL NO. 1
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY'S NAME

At the Company's recent annual meeting of the Shareholders held on July 7,
1999, the Shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's articles of
incorporation ("Articles") changing its name to docsales.com, inc., to reflect

be better served doing business under the name "DocPlanet.com, Inc."
The name DocPlanet.com, Inc. continues to demonstrate to the investing
public that the Company is committed to its current internet strategy to provide
the most efficient services to the greatest number of customers. The Board
feels that it is in the best interest of the Company amend its Articles to
change the name of the Company to DocPlanet.com, Inc.

The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Shares entitled to
vote at the Meeting is required to approve the proposed amendment to the
