Dear Shareowner:
We have previously sent you proxy materials for the important Special Meeting
of Shareowners to be held on December 19, 1994.
According to our latest records, we have not yet received your proxy.
Because the proposals under consideration require the vote of a majority of
all outstanding shares, your vote is very important no matter how many or how
few shares you may own.
Please help your company avoid the expense of further solicitation by SIGNING
AND RETURNING the enclosed proxy card TODAY. We have provided a prepaid
envelope for your convenience.
Thank you for your assistance.
Very truly yours,
ROCHESTER TELEPHONE CORPORATION
