TO OUR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:

The time before the Alliance Bancorp meeting grows short, and the most important
issue for  shareholders  to focus on is very  straightforward:  DO YOU THINK THE
ELECTION OF THE COMMITTEE'S  THREE HIGHLY QUALIFIED  INDEPENDENT  DIRECTORS WILL
HELP INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN ALLIANCE BANCORP?

                   NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED INDEPENDENT AUTHORITY
             RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE COMMITTEE'S DIRECTOR NOMINEES

You have now  received  many  mailings  about  our  nominees  and  management's.
Although we believe the issues are clear,  we know that it can be  confusing  to
receive so much  conflicting  information.  Institutional  Shareholder  Services
(ISS), is an independent  organization retained by many institutional owners and
mutual funds, who collectively  manage tens of billions of dollars, to help them
analyze  complex  voting  issues and determine  what is in their best  interest.
After talking with both Alliance Bancorp's management and the Committee, ISS HAS
ISSUED A WRITTEN  REPORT  RECOMMENDING  THAT ITS  CLIENTS  SUPPORT  THE LA SALLE
NOMINEES.

                            $3.5 MILLION OF OUR MONEY

Of the many  misimpressions  management has tried to create in its recent letter
to shareholders,  we would like to particularly address their statement that the
Committee  nominees  "have not invested one single  dollar of their own funds in
Alliance  Bancorp  common  stock." IN FACT,  PETER  KROSS,  ONE OF THE  MANAGING
PARTNERS  OF LA SALLE,  AND  NOMINEE  RICHARD  NELSON  HAVE A STAKE OF OVER $3.5
MILLION IN  ALLIANCE  BANCORP  THROUGH  LA SALLE  FINANCIAL  PARTNERS.  And this
investment in Alliance  wasn't  accomplished  through stock option  exercises or
merger  consideration  unlike a significant portion of the Alliance shares owned
by management and the board.

                               WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

Management  has attacked our plans and our motives.  We're not surprised at this
response,  given the positive  reaction we've  received from many  shareholders.
What management  HASN'T done is to provide clear answers to the question that is
of paramount concern:



       IS THE  COMPANY  REALLY  NEGOTIATING  A SALE?  Crain's  Chicago  Business
       reported that Kenne Bristol  confirmed that Alliance is  entertaining  an
       offer to merge or sell. Mr.  Bristol denied making the statement.  Later,
       Mr. Bristol was reported to have said "If opportunities make sense, we're
       not  closed-minded  to them. No one runs a company  forever." What is Mr.
       Bristol  really  saying?   Moreover,  if  the  Company  really  has  been
       consulting  with "top-tier"  investment  banking firms in connection with
       possible  merger and  acquisition  transactions,  as they now claim,  why
       hasn't the Company publicly  announced this before now, just prior to the
       annual  shareholders   meeting?  And  why  haven't  they  announced  what
       investment  banking  firms  they have  retained.  IS THE  COMPANY  REALLY
       SERIOUS ABOUT  CONSIDERING A SALE, OR WILL THEIR OBJECTIVES  CHANGE AFTER
       THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING AND THIS PROXY CONTEST ARE OVER?

Since  management  seems  prepared  to  address  any topic  EXCEPT  the one most
important to  shareholders,  you'll have to decide for yourself whether they are
trying to create value or win votes.

                                  TIME IS SHORT

Because  your shares are held through a brokerage  firm or bank,  if you wish to
support our  nominees,  you must do one of the following to be certain your vote
is received in time for the meeting:

*      Mail the enclosed GREEN proxy card today, if it is before June 16th; or

*      If it is after  June  16th,  mail the  GREEN  Proxy  AND call the  person
       responsible for your account and ask that the firm cast your vote for the
       Committee's nominees on the GREEN proxy card.

We hope you will support us by voting the GREEN proxy today.  Thank you for your
attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,


         La Salle Financial Partners, L. P.          The Committee to Maximize
                                                            Shareholder Value
