Dear Humana Stockholder:

It has been brought to our attention that some of our stockholders may not have received a complete set of Humana materials in connection with our April 22, 2004 Annual Stockholders Meeting due to an apparent mix up by a third party processing agent.

Each stockholder as of March 1, 2004, should have received:

1.    A Humana Inc. Proxy Statement dated March 12, 2004.

2.    A Humana Inc. 2003 Annual Report. This document included our 107 page 10-K.

3.    The Humana Inc. Proxy Card.

We believe that the Annual Report and Proxy Card were included in all packets. However, another company's proxy statement may have been included instead of the Humana Inc. Proxy Statement.

Our Proxy Statement is available online at:
                     http://ir.thomsonfn.com/InvestorRelations/irfiles/10199/pdf/proxy_1.pdf

If you would like to receive a printed copy of our Proxy Statement, please call the following toll-free number: 800-487-4870. A Proxy Statement or any of the other materials listed above will be immediately sent.

Your vote is important to us. Thank you.

Sincerely,

HUMANA INC.
