Dear Fellow Shareholder:

We recently sent you proxy material for Edison International's annual shareholders' meeting scheduled for
Thursday, May 15, 2003.  According to our records, your proxy for this meeting has not yet been received.

Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that they be represented and voted at the meeting.

The Edison International Board of Directors strongly recommends that all shareholders vote:

        o   "FOR" the election of directors; and

        o   "AGAINST" the shareholder proposal to redeem the Company's shareholder rights agreement.

Time is short.  If you have not yet voted, we urge you to sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy card or voting
instruction card in the postage-paid return envelope provided.  If you are a registered shareholder, you may also
vote via the Internet or telephone by entering the control number from your proxy card and following the
instructions on your proxy card.  If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, please contact
that bank, broker or other nominee for information about available voting methods.

If you have recently voted, please accept our thanks and disregard this request.

Your interest and participation in the affairs of the Company is sincerely appreciated.  Thank you for your
continued support.

                                                    Sincerely,


                                                    /S/ John E. Bryson
