      We have been appointed by Cox Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cox”), and Cox Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings” and together with Cox, the “Purchasers”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Enterprises”), to act as Dealer Managers in connection with the Purchasers’ offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Cox (the “Shares”) not beneficially owned by Enterprises, Cox DNS, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprises) or Holdings at a purchase price of $34.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash (such amount, or any greater amount per Share paid pursuant to the Offer, being referred to herein as the “Offer Price”), without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 3, 2004 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, constitute the “Offer”) enclosed herewith.

      Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whose accounts you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee.

      Enclosed for your information and use are copies of the following documents:

      1. The Offer to Purchase dated November 3, 2004;

      2. The Letter of Transmittal, including a Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9, to be used by holders of Shares in accepting the Offer and tendering Shares;

      3. A Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to be used to accept the Offer if the Shares and all other required documents are not immediately available or cannot be delivered to Wachovia Bank. N.A. (the “Depositary”) by the

Expiration Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) or if the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed by the Expiration Date;

      4. A letter which may be sent to your clients for whose accounts you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, with space provided for obtaining such clients’ instructions with regard to the Offer;

      5. Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9; and

      In all cases, payment for Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of (i) Certificates evidencing such Shares (or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such Shares into the Depositary’s account at DTC), (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a properly completed and manually signed facsimile thereof) or an Agent’s Message (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) in connection with a book-entry transfer and (iii) any other required documents.
