Letter to Entergy Shareholders


               [Letterhead of Entergy Corporation]



                           November 29, 2000

Dear Entergy Shareholders:

Recently,  you  should  have  received  a  proxy  statement/prospectus
providing  details on Entergy Corporation's proposed merger  with  FPL
Group, Inc.  Enclosed with the proxy statement was a voting card  with
instructions on how to vote by phone, internet, mail or in person.

                  Your Vote Is Very Important To Us!

By voting FOR the merger, you will help us create the largest electric
utility in the nation, with 6.3 million customers and more than 48,000
megawatts of generating capacity.  The new company also will include a
sizable   unregulated  energy  group  with  leadership  positions   in
electricity generation and energy marketing and trading.   We  believe
that the combined entity will have the scope, scale and resources that
will   be  critical  to  achieving  success  in  the  changing  energy
marketplace, which will lead to enhanced shareholder value.

                     Information On Your Dividends

One  of  the  most  frequently  asked questions  we've  received  from
shareholders  since the proposed merger was announced  is  "What  will
happen  to  my  dividends?"  I'd like to assure you that dividends  to
Entergy shareholders are NOT expected to decrease as a result  of  the
merger.    An   example  is  provided  to  demonstrate  that   Entergy
shareholders are expected to receive approximately the same amount  of
dividends they receive today, if the merger is approved:

   Assume  an  Entergy shareholder currently owns 1,000 shares  of
   Entergy  Corporation  common stock.   Given  Entergy's  current
   annual  dividend  of $1.26 per year, this shareholder  receives
   $1,260 of dividends per year:

     1,000 shares of Entergy x $1.26 per share per year = $1,260
                              per year

   Assuming the merger is approved, this shareholder will  receive
   0.585  of  a  share  of the merged company for  each  share  of
   Entergy   stock   currently   owned.    As   a   result,   this
   shareholder's  holdings  in  the merged  company  will  be  585
   shares:

    1,000 shares of Entergy  x 0.585 exchange ratio = 585 shares
                          of merged company

   Dividends of the merged company are expected to be set  at  the
   level  of  the FPL Group annual dividend in effect at the  time
   of  the  merger.  Assuming the merged company paid FPL  Group's
   current  dividend  of $2.16 per share, this  shareholder  would
   receive $1,263.60 per year:

      585 shares of merged company x $2.16 per share per year =
                         $1,263.60 per year

    Dividends paid by the merged company are expected to provide
     approximately the same level of dividend income to Entergy
              shareholders that they currently receive.

Please  read  the joint proxy statement/prospectus dated  November  7,
2000  for more information on the merger.  You may obtain a free  copy
of   the   joint   proxy  statement/prospectus  and  other   documents
incorporated  by  reference in it from the following address:  Entergy
Corporation,  639  Loyola Avenue, New Orleans,  LA  70113,  Attention:

may  also  call our proxy solicitor, Morrow & Co., Inc.,  at  800-662-

I   enthusiastically  join  with  Entergy's  Board  of  Directors   in
recommending that you vote FOR the approval of the merger.

Sincerely,

/s/ J. Wayne Leonard
