Dear Friends,

You have recently received a request from The Quigley Corporation that you give the Company your proxy to vote your shares. PLEASE IGNORE THE COMPANY'S REQUEST AND DO NOT RETURN THE WHITE CARD.
 
My proxy materials currently are being cleared by the SEC and should be available for delivery to shareholders within the week. Because the Company was not required to clear their proxy materials with the SEC, the Company was permitted to get a "head start" in soliciting your vote.
 
I urge you not to return the Company's proxy. You deserve the opportunity to review my solicitation materials before making any decision. If you would like to support my proxy and my highly qualified nominees for the Board, please do nothing with The Quigley Corporation’s proxy – it can be thrown away. 
 
When you receive my proxy, you will simply need to fill out the BLUE CARD and mail it back.  If you do not receive my proxy and a BLUE CARD within a week, please contact me and I will send you one directly.

Please forward this email or pass on its message to anyone that you know that might own shares of The Quigley Corporation.  Also if any shareholder has any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at (516) 569-9999.
 
Best Regards,
Ted

Ps. if by some chance you have already returned the White Card, it is not too late to vote for my slate.  Only your last vote counts.  Filling out and returning the BLUE PROXY CARD when you receive it will still count.
