Dear Nickname:

This is a very exciting time for ARAMARK and all of our shareholders. As you can
imagine, the process of moving from our privately owned environment to public
ownership involves many steps. We want to make sure that, as a shareholder, you
understand the process and have the information you will need to make a number
of important decisions in the coming weeks.

Attached is a schedule of information and materials you will be receiving
concerning your stock ownership and how it will be affected by our proposed
initial public offering. The first of these communications, the pre-merger
letter and accompanying materials from Marie Paschall, is also enclosed in this
package. Please take time to carefully consider this first communication and
provide the requested information.

Also, please be aware of the following important information:

o    The current schedule will result in the proposed initial public offering
     occurring in mid-December. Obviously, there can be no guarantees this
     schedule will remain in place.

o    If the current schedule remains in place, the proposed tender offer will
     occur during the annual stock exercise period. If so, it could result in
     the stock-for-stock exchange and internal market features being unavailable
     during this period due to SEC restrictions.

o    If the stock-for-stock exchange and internal market features are
     unavailable, the deferred payment program will be enhanced to provide 90%
     financing on all installments that will expire at the end of this exercise
     period. You will receive further information on this in future mailings.

Because of the nature of these transactions, we encourage you to discuss the
material you receive with your tax advisor, where appropriate. References to tax
treatment in the enclosed document are based on U. S. tax law. In the meantime,
if you have any questions, please call First Union National Bank Shareholder
Services at 1-888-966-9637, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST.
To assist us throughout this process, the dedicated representatives for our
account are Kathy Biddle and Peggy Romanelli.

Sincerely,


/s/ Brian G. Mulvaney

Dear Nickname:

ARAMARK has filed Registration Statements with the Securities and Exchange
Commission regarding a merger and an Initial Public Offering. If these
transactions are completed, ARAMARK stock will convert to a new ARAMARK Class A
common stock.

You should make your decision whether or not to vote for the merger and related
transactions only after you have received and read the proxy statement, which we
will be mailing to you if you own ARAMARK stock. We are providing you with some
current information about your account, so that you can plan ahead in the event
the merger and public offering take place.

Enclosed are:

o        Holder Profile Report,
o        Change of Address/E-mail Notification card and return envelope.

What is the Holder Profile Report?

The enclosed "Holder Profile Report" gives you a snapshot of the address
information that we have for your account as of November 14, 2001. If you own
stock that is registered in a different name, you will receive a separate report
and communication regarding those shares.

Should I complete the Change of Address and E-mail Notification card?

Yes. In order for communications regarding your account to reach you, we MUST
have your correct mailing address on file. From time to time, we may send
information to you by e-mail. Therefore, we are also building a database of
e-mail addresses.

Even if your mailing address has not changed, we ask that you complete the card
for each stock account (if you have more than one) and submit it to us with your
current office and home telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Alternatively,
you can enter this information yourself through the Shareholder Services Online
(SSO) website.

How can I access the Shareholder Services Online (SSO) website?

o    Holder ID--You will need the Holder ID at the top right of the Holder
     Profile Report, plus your personal identification number (PIN). In a few
     days, you will receive a PIN by mail that you can use in conjunction with
     your Holder ID to enter the SSO site at:

                  http://sso.thestarnet.com/sms/



o    After receiving your PIN, if you have any difficulty accessing the SSO
     site, contact Shareholder Customer Service at First Union National Bank:
     1-888-966-9637, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.


o    To ensure security, NEW PINS have been issued.

o    Look for more information soon on how the SSO website is being expanded to
     help you manage your stock account and conduct various transactions.

What do I need to do now?

1.   Complete and submit the Change of Address/E-Mail Notification card, or
     enter the information on the SSO website.

2.   Review the Holder Profile Report.

If you have any questions, please call First Union National Bank Shareholder
