Re: Charter Communications, Inc. Stock Option Exchange Program Web Site and PIN

Dear <First Name>:

As announced by Carl Vogel, Charter Communications, Inc. has launched a Stock Option Exchange Program (the “Exchange Program”) effective today, Tuesday, January 20, 2004. The Exchange Program allows you an opportunity to exchange your eligible stock options for shares of restricted stock or in some instances cash. Complete details are available through the attached website link. If you decide to accept Charter’s offer to exchange your options, you must complete and submit an online election form before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, February 20, 2004. Elections or changes to elections cannot be accepted after this time.

You will be able to make your election to participate in the Exchange Program on the Mellon Investor Services (“Mellon”) web site dedicated specifically to Charter. For security purposes, a Personal Identification Number (PIN) has been assigned to you to access your personal information and make your election choices.
Your PIN is: <PIN>.
