Ladies and Gentlemen:

      The undersigned, Mission Partners, L.P. ("MPLP"), is the beneficial owner
of 529,600 shares of the common stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), of
Syntellect, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

      In connection with the Company's 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
"Annual Meeting") and pursuant to Rule 14a-7(a) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), MPLP hereby requests that the
Company furnish to it, as promptly as practicable (but not later than the fifth
business next following the date hereof), the following information
(collectively, the "List Information"):

      1.   A statement of the approximate number of holders of record of the
           Common Stock as of the record date established by the Company for
           stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting
           (the "Record Date"), together (if available or retrievable) with a
           sub-list of the 25 largest record holders and beneficial owners (in
           descending order of number of shares) of the outstanding Common
           Stock;

      2.   A statement of the approximate number of beneficial owners of the
           Common Stock as of the Record Date to whom the Company has made or
           intends to make a solicitation in connection with the Annual Meeting
           through bankers, brokers, fiduciaries, nominees and other persons and
           holders; and

      3.   An estimate of the cost of mailing the definitive proxy statement,
           form of proxy and accompanying solicitation materials, including
           communications pursuant to Rule 14a-12 under the Exchange Act
           (collectively, the "Solicitation Material"), to be furnished by MPLP
           to all such record holders and beneficial owners, including to the
           extent known and reasonably available, the estimated handling and
           mailing costs to the bankers, brokers, fiduciaries, nominees and
           other persons and holders through whom the Company intends to solicit
           stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting.

      MPLP intends to use the List Information to solicit from the Company's
stockholders, proxies for the election at the Annual Meeting of MPLP's
director-nominee to serve on the Company's Board of Directors until such
nominee's successor is duly elected and qualified.





      Pursuant to Rule 14a-7(c) under the Exchange Act, annexed hereto is an
affidavit of MPLP attesting and affirming that MPLP shall not (i) use the List
Information for any purpose other than to solicit the Company's stockholders in
connection with the Annual Meeting and (ii) disclose the List Information to any
person other than a beneficial owner of Common Stock for whom this request was
made and an employee or agent to the extent necessary to effectuate MPLP's
communication and solicitation. MPLP hereby undertakes to return to the Company
the List Information promptly after the termination of MPLP's solicitation
referred to herein, and shall not retain any copies thereof or any information
derived therefrom.

      Pursuant to Rule 14a-7(b) under the Exchange Act, MPLP hereby requests
that the Company mail, with reasonable promptness after receipt from MPLP of the
Solicitation Material, together with envelopes therefor and of postage or
payment for postage, true and complete copies of the Solicitation Material to
each holder of record of Common Stock specified in paragraph (1) above and the
requisite number of copies of the Solicitation Material as shall enable each
banker, broker or other person referred to in paragraph (2) above to furnish
true and complete copies thereof to each beneficial owner solicited or to be
solicited through such banker, broker or other person.

      MPLP shall bear and reimburse the Company for the Company's reasonable
expenses incurred in the performance of the acts requested above.

      Please acknowledge your receipt of this letter by signing the enclosed
duplicate hereof in the space provided below for such purpose and returning it
to our waiting messenger.

                                          Very truly yours,
