Dear Fellow Stockholder:

We have previously sent to you proxy material for the special meeting of
stockholders of Ivex Packaging Corporation to be held on June 28, 2002.
Your Board of Directors has unanimously recommended that stockholders vote
in favor of the proposed merger with Alcoa Inc.

Since approval of the merger requires an affirmative vote by a majority of
the outstanding shares, your vote is important, no matter how many or how
few shares you may own. Whether or not you have already done so, please
sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card today in the envelope
provided.

Very truly yours,

/s/ George V. Bayly


George V. Bayly
