         Corrected "Performance Graph" in Annual Meeting Proxy Statement


Dear CMSI Shareholder:

         It has come to our attention that the  Performance  Graph  appearing on
page 11 of our Annual  Meeting  Proxy  Statement,  which was mailed to you on or
about May 15, 1998, contains an error that unfavorably distorts the stock market
performance  of CMSI's  common stock in comparison to the indices for the NASDAQ
Stock  Market  and  the  NASDAQ  Computer  & Data  Processing  Services  Stocks.
Inadvertently,  the 1995 CMSI stock  prices shown in the graph were not adjusted
for the two 3-for-2  stock  splits  effective  on July 5, 1996 and  November 20,
1996. The corrected  Performance Graph shown on the reverse side of this letter,
which is required to be included in the Proxy  Statement to assist  shareholders
in their  evaluation  of the  compensation  paid to the  Company's  officers and
directors,  should be  substituted  for the one now  appearing on page 11 of the
Proxy Statement. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   JERRY W. DAVIS
                                   Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

   
      The following  graph is a comparison of the  cumulative  total returns for
the Company's  Common Stock as compared with the cumulative total return for the
NASDAQ  Stock Market  (U.S.)  Total Return Index and the NASDAQ  Computer & Data
Processing  Services Stocks  ("C&DPS") Nasdaq Total Return Index. The cumulative
return of the Company was computed by dividing the difference  between the price
of the Company's  Common Stock at the end of each  measurement  period (December
31, 1995,  December 31,  1996,  and December 31, 1997) and the  beginning of the
cumulative measurement period (September 29, 1995) by the price of the Company's
Common  Stock at the  beginning  of the  cumulative  measurement  period  (after
adjusting all 1995 stock prices for the 3-for-2  stock splits  effective on July
5, 1996, and November 20, 1996). The total return calculations are based upon an
assumed $100 investment on September 29, 1995, the date of the Company's initial
public offering.
