The following email will be sent to BellSouth employees regarding the
availability of a question and answer form on the BellSouth internet web site
which addresses questions on BellSouth's proposed Latin America tracking stock.
Tracking Stock Frequently Asked Questions Available Online
Frequently asked questions about the tracking stock have been added to the Latin
America tracking stock web site. Select the "Frequently Asked Questions" item
from the menu of choices on the www.bellsouth.com/investor/la web site.
Please note Q&A 19, which discusses the importance of voting. Most proposals
presented to our shareholders require a favorable vote of a majority of the
shares voted to pass. In contrast, the tracking stock proposal must be approved
by a majority of the shares outstanding. Therefore, if you don't vote it is
generally the same as voting against the proposal. Please review the information
in the proxy statement and vote your shares.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote for the tracking
stock proposal. BellSouth needs your vote.
