Dear Loews Shareholder:

We have previously sent to you proxy material for the Special Meeting of Loews
Corporation shareholders to be held on January 4, 2002. YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
HAS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF BOTH PROPOSALS
UNDER CONSIDERATION.

Since approval of the proposal to authorize the creation of Carolina Group stock
requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all outstanding shares, YOUR VOTE
IS IMPORTANT, no matter how many or how few shares you may own. Whether or not
you have already done so, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card
today in the envelope provided.

Very truly yours,


BARRY HIRSCH
Secretary
