                          Re: Wachovia Corporation

Dear Shareholder:

Please accept our thanks for sending in your BLUE Proxy Card.

To avoid any possible dispute as to the validity of your proxy for the
reason(s) indicated below, we are requesting that you sign, date and mail
the enclosed additional Blue Proxy Card with the correction indicated below
in the self-addressed envelope provided for your convenience. This Proxy
will automatically revoke any previously granted proxy when it is returned.

/_/   YOUR PREVIOUS BLUE PROXY WAS UNSIGNED. (If signing as attorney,
      executor, administrator, personal representative of an estate,
      corporate officer, partner, trustee, custodian or guardian, please
      sign and give your full title as such.)

/_/   YOUR PREVIOUS BLUE PROXY WAS UNDATED. (Please date, sign and return
      the enclosed White Proxy Card in the enclosed envelope.)

/_/   YOUR PREVIOUS BLUE PROXY OMITTED YOUR TITLE OR AUTHORITY. (If signing
      as attorney, executor, administrator, personal representative of an
      estate, corporate officer, partner, trustee, custodian or guardian,
      please sign and give your full title as such.)

/_/   YOUR PREVIOUS BLUE PROXY, AS SIGNED, DID NOT CONFORM TO THE NAME
      SHOWN ON THE PROXY. (Please date and sign the enclosed Blue proxy
      card exactly as the registration appears on the proxy, including your
      full title if signing other than in an individual capacity.) If the
      registration is in the name of a custodian for the benefit of a
      minor, the custodian must sign and indicate his/her capacity. If you
      are a beneficiary 18 years or older, you may sign as long as you
      indicate your age.

/_/   YOUR PREVIOUS BLUE PROXY WAS NOT SIGNED BY ALL JOINT OWNERS. (If
      shares are registered in the name of more than one person, each such
      person should sign the enclosed Blue Proxy Card. If a joint tenant is
      deceased, please indicate that you are the surviving joint owner.)


/_/   YOUR PREVIOUS BLUE PROXY, AS MARKED, DID NOT CLEARLY SPECIFY YOUR
      INSTRUCTIONS. Please sign, date and clearly mark your proxy.

/_/   OTHER____________________________________________________________________

      -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since time is of the essence, we would greatly appreciate your signing,
dating and mailing the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card as soon as possible. Please
mail it in the envelope provided for your convenience. If you have any
