Dear PeopleSoft Customer,

PeopleSoft's star is rising.

In fact, PeopleSoft's star has been rising for the past few years. Beginning
with the release of our unique Pure Internet Architecture in 2000, PeopleSoft
has set the pace in enterprise application software. PeopleSoft launched an
entirely new category of enterprise applications called Enterprise Service
Automation. We were the first to introduce a single Global Payroll Engine.
PeopleSoft was the first enterprise software company to offer embedded analytics
in our applications. Altogether PeopleSoft has introduced more than 35
completely new applications in the past 18 months alone.

At the same time, PeopleSoft has also led in customer service and value. In a
study on Total Cost of Ownership released in April 2003, META Group concluded
that PeopleSoft had the lowest Total Cost of Ownership of all the applications
providers. In a study of Total Customer Experience released in September 2003,
Forrester Research concluded that PeopleSoft had the highest application
ownership satisfaction. Finally, in July 2003 the Data Warehousing Institute
reported on a survey that found PeopleSoft had the highest percentage of
customers that would license its software again based on their experience.

PeopleSoft's blistering pace of innovation, superior customer service, and value
has been reflected in our market share gains and financial results. As of the
end of 2003, PeopleSoft's four-year compound annual growth rate for application
license revenue has exceeded SAP and Oracle. We have met or exceeded our
earnings guidance 16 of the last 17 quarters. And PeopleSoft has been able to
increase pro forma earnings every year for the past four years, even in a
difficult economy.

Our success has not gone unnoticed. As you know, Oracle Corporation made a
hostile tender offer for PeopleSoft immediately following our announcement to
acquire J.D. Edwards. Oracle's application business has been particularly weak
by comparison to PeopleSoft and SAP, and their customer satisfaction level has
been significantly declining. For example, the Data Warehousing Institute report
mentioned above found that only 15 percent of Oracle customers would make the
same decision again.

PeopleSoft's Board of Directors has rejected Oracle's offer three times,
including this morning when our Board rejected Oracle's final offer. We continue
to be completely committed to our shareholders and our customers, and the real
value of PeopleSoft. We are particularly excited about the additional value for
both shareholders and customers as we continue our successful integration of
J.D. Edwards. As you know, this will provide new products for our World,
EnterpriseOne, and Enterprise customers.

We are looking forward to realizing the full value of PeopleSoft as this period
of competitive disruption comes to an end. PeopleSoft will continue to offer you
the best choice of enterprise application software.

Sincerely,

/s/ CRAIG A. CONWAY
