It is to assure the operator of your identity. May 30, 2001 Dear Willamette Shareholder: BREAK THE LOGJAM! The Willamette Annual Meeting is less than a week away and we believe the future value of your investment hangs in the balance. We urge you to vote TODAY to elect the Weyerhaeuser nominees, who are committed to maximizing the value of your investment in Willamette. WILLAMETTE BOARD REFUSES TO NEGOTIATE For more than two years, Weyerhaeuser has sought a dialogue with Willamette to discuss a transaction that would yield Willamette shareholders a significant premium for their shares. Nonetheless, Willamette continues to refuse to negotiate, despite the fact that Weyerhaeuser has clearly stated its willingness to increase its offer to above $50 per share. We believe that, by refusing to discuss an increased price, Willamette has made it crystal clear that it is not for sale at any price. The only way to break this logjam is to elect the Weyerhaeuser nominees at Willamette's June 7th Annual Meeting. VOTE TODAY TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT If the Weyerhaeuser nominees are not elected, we will withdraw our offer since it will take at least two more years, until the 2003 annual meeting, to effect a transaction not approved by the current Willamette board. We believe that Willamette's market price currently reflects Weyerhaeuser's premium offer and that, absent the offer, that price could be subject to significant downside risk. Ask yourself, "at what price will Willamette trade if Weyerhaeuser goes away?" TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR INVESTMENT Since time is short and your vote critical, we have established a method which will enable you to vote by toll-free proxygram. Please take a few minutes of your time to follow the simple steps listed below.
