            Re:   Notice of Intention to Present Nominations and
                  Business at 2003 Annual Meeting

Ladies and Gentlemen:

            The undersigned (the "Proponent"), owns beneficially an aggregate of
915,065 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock")
(not including shares obtainable upon exercise of options or conversion of units
of limited partnership of Post Apartment Homes, L.P.), of Post Properties, Inc.,
a Georgia corporation (the "Company"), and is entitled to vote such shares of
Common Stock for the election of Directors at the Company's 2003 Annual Meeting,
and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). The name and
address of the Proponent, as they appear on the Company's books, are:

                                John A. Williams
                           4615 Northside Drive, N.W.
                             Atlanta, Georgia 30327

            Pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the Bylaws of the Company (as
amended and restated March 22, 2003), and in accordance with the Georgia
Business Corporation Code, as amended, the Proponent hereby notifies the Company
of the Proponent's intention to nominate the following individuals (the
"Nominees") for election as Directors of the Company at the Annual Meeting:

            Term Expiring 2005:         Term Expiring 2006:

            George R. Puskar            Roy E. Barnes
                                        Paul J. Dolinoy
                                        Thomas J.A. Lavin

            The Proponent also hereby reserves his right, in the event that the
Company increases the number of persons named in its proxy statement as nominees
for director, or otherwise seeks to nominate, solicit proxies with respect to or
elect any other nominees for director at the Annual Meeting, to nominate as
Nominees such other individuals as may be necessary such that, when aggregated
with the other Nominees who remain available for nomination and election at the
Annual Meeting, the total number of Nominees represents one less than the total
number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting.

            Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a copy of the Preliminary Proxy
Statement on Schedule 14A (the "Proponent's Preliminary Proxy Statement"), filed
on behalf of the Proponent with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April
7, 2003. The Proponent's Preliminary Proxy Statement contains all information
relating to the Nominees that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of
proxies for election of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

            The information included herein represents the Proponent's best
knowledge as of the date hereof. The Proponent reserves the right, in the event
such information shall be or become inaccurate, to provide corrective
information to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable, although the
Proponent does not commit to update any information that may change from and
after the date hereof.

            The Proponent requests written notice as soon as practicable but in
no event later than April 10, 2003, of any alleged defect in this Notice of
Intention to Present Nominations and reserves the right, following receipt of
any such notice, to either challenge, or attempt as soon as practicable to cure,
such alleged defect. The Proponent reserves the right to give notice of his
intention to present business or further notice of additional nominations, in
each case, to be conducted or made at the Annual Meeting or other meeting of the
Company's shareholders or to revise the nominations described herein.

            Please direct any questions regarding the information contained in
this Notice of Intention to Present Nominations to my attorney, Leonard A.
Silverstein, Esq., at McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, 303 Peachtree Street,
Atlanta, Georgia 30308, telephone number (404) 527-4390.

            In witness whereof, the Proponent has caused this Notice of
Intention to Present Nominations to be duly executed as of the date first
written above.
