     Dear Kemper Shareholder:

          The Kemper Annual Meeting is next week.

          THE QUESTION BEFORE YOU IS CLEAR:  DO YOU WANT KEMPER SOLD NOW
     FOR FULL AND FAIR VALUE?  IF SO, SEND THAT MESSAGE TO KEMPER'S BOARD
     AND MANAGEMENT BY VOTING FOR THE ELECTION OF GE CAPITAL'S NOMINEES ON
     THE BLUE PROXY CARD TODAY.

          In making your decision, you should consider the following:

          (1) GE CAPITAL'S $55 PER SHARE PROPOSAL PROVIDES SHAREHOLDERS
     WITH A SIGNIFICANT PREMIUM.

          Our proposal is almost 40% over the market price of Kemper's
     common stock on January 26, 1994 ($38-3/8 per share), when we first
     approached Kemper's management and expressed our interest.  ASK
     YOURSELF:  Where would Kemper's stock be without the GE Capital
     proposal?

          (2) GE CAPITAL SHOULD BE GIVEN AN IMMEDIATE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW
     KEMPER'S REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO TO DETERMINE IF A HIGHER PRICE IS
     WARRANTED.

          Kemper has said "NO".  NO to our proposal -- and NO to sharing
     with us the information necessary to justify an increased price.  

          Therefore, the question for you, Kemper shareholders, is:  Should
     Kemper be sold now for full and fair value?  We will follow your
     wishes.  If we win, our nominees are committed to an immediate sale of
     Kemper for at least $55 per share.  If not, we will withdraw our
     proposal.



















     


          WE URGE YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE BLUE PROXY CARD TODAY.

                                   Very truly yours,

                                   /s/ Gary C. Wendt

                                   Gary C. Wendt
                                   President and 
                                    Chief Executive Officer
