                         [XETA TECHNOLOGIES LETTERHEAD]

         April 7, 2000





         Dear Shareholder:

         The Annual Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 11 and we look
         forward to seeing you there.

         This letter is to advise you regarding a change to the Annual Meeting
         agenda. Proposal No. 3, which deals with the amendment to our
         Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized common stock to
         50,000,000 shares, and change the par value of the stock to no par
         value, has been removed from consideration at the direction of the
         Board of Directors. This action is necessary to avoid payment of an
         exorbitant filing fee (in excess of $2 million) proposed to be charged
         by the Oklahoma Secretary of State's office for this amendment. We
         obviously do not want to pay such an exorbitant fee, and we have
         determined that it can be avoided by a fairly simple change in our
         proposal. The Board has therefore directed that Proposal No. 3 be
         removed from the Annual Meeting agenda.

         The Board intends to revise this proposal and present it to the
         shareholders for their consideration at a special meeting to be called
         and held within the next few weeks, as soon as we can comply with all
         notice and filing requirements under applicable Federal and state laws.
         The revised proposal will avoid triggering a filing fee that is cost
         prohibitive. The special meeting will be announced through a formal
         notice and proxy mailing, preparations for which are currently
         underway.

         In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

         Sincerely,



         /s/ JACK R. INGRAM

         Jack R. Ingram, CEO
