I have also included a stamp that you may use for this purpose or, if you elect not return the proxy, you may keep and use for any letter of your choice (subject to US postal regulations). If you trust us completely, you can just sign and date the proxy, without further marks. But read it carefully and see if you want to direct any specific votes. We are bound to vote according to whatever instructions you give. Even if you have sent in another proxy, you can sign this one. Only the latest one matters. And you can revoke this one at any time up to the meeting (or by showing up at the meeting). If you have any questions or comments please come to my web site http://www.eRaider.com, or email me at Aaron.Brown@PrivateerAM.com or call me at (646) 505-0215. If you have not received our proxy solicitation it is available at the web site or by request at the email address or telephone number above. It is not essential, but there are a few things you can do to help us. One is to enclose the proxy card the company sent you, this helps to match up your name on the shareholder list. Failing that, please tell us how many shares you owned at the end of May 2, 2001, the account they are in (assuming that, like most people, you hold them in a street name with a broker rather than in your own name) and your social security number. If you feel uncomfortable revealing any of that, it's okay, we can match you up from the shareholder list, it just takes more time and sometimes leads to arguments with management. Whether or not you vote with us, thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Aaron Brown
