                                                           April ___, 1994

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

     Our April 25 Annual Meeting is now only a short time away. Your vote is
important, and, even if you have voted previously, I urge you to sign, date and
return the enclosed WHITE proxy card today.

     Several proposals are expected to be presented at the Annual Meeting by 
current or former employees who are or were members of the International 
Brotherhood of Teamsters. A Teamster-financed "CF Shareholders Committee" is 
circulating green proxy cards and trying to enlist support for these proposals.

     We believe these proposals are part of an ongoing, well-financed "Corporate
Campaign" by the Teamsters to harass your Board and management and thereby gain 
indirect leverage in labor matters to the detriment of your interests as a CF 
shareholder. As you probably know, the Teamsters are now on strike against 
virtually all of the nation's major unionized trucking companies, including one 
of CF's major operating subsidiaries.

     We urge you to vote AGAINST these shareholder proposals (Items 4 and 5) on 
the enclosed WHITE proxy card. If you previously voted on the green proxy card 
sent by the Teamster-financed "Committee," you can revoke that proxy by simply 
signing, dating and returning the WHITE proxy card.

     We thank you for your continued support.
 
                                          Sincerely,

                                          /s/ DONALD E. MOFFIT

                                          Donald E. Moffit
                                          President and Chief Executive Officer
