Fellow Shareholder:

         We have previously mailed to you proxy materials relating to the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders of Atlantic Gulf Communities to be held on Monday,  June
23, 1997.

         According to our latest  records,  we have not received your proxy card
for this  important  meeting.  Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is
important  that they are  represented  and voted at the  meeting.  Please take a
moment to sign and date the enclosed duplicate proxy card and promptly return it
in the envelope provided for your convenience.  If you already have already done
so, we thank you and ask you to disregard this reminder.

         For the reasons set forth in the Proxy  Statement  dated May 21,  1997,
your Board of  Directors  recommends  that you vote "FOR" the  proposals  on the
agenda.

         Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.

                                      Sincerely,



                                      /s/ J. LARRY RUTHERFORD
