Dear Stockholder:
We look forward to seeing you at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders
which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, 1800 East Putnam Avenue,
Greenwich, Connecticut 06870 on June 3, 1999 at 10:00 A.M. local time.
Recently you received our Annual Report with the Notice of the Meeting
and Proxy Statement. Please note that in the proxy materials the record date
for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting was misprinted as April 9,
1998. The correct date is April 9, 1999. The description of the vote required
for adoption of Proposal 2 should read "the affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares of stock present, or represented, and eligible to vote at the
annual meeting."
Very truly yours,
Bruce L. Lev
Secretary
