DEAR EL PASO STOCKHOLDER:
Thank you for returning your WHITE proxy for the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of El Paso Corporation scheduled to be held on June 17, 2003.
We are assisting the El Paso board of directors (the "Board of Directors")
with the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders.
To avoid the possibility of your vote being challenged or disqualified
for the reason(s) indicated below, we ask that you sign, date and mail the
enclosed new WHITE proxy in the postage-paid envelope provided. As a
reminder, you are urged to vote for your Board's nominees, to reject the
Zilkha/Wyatt proposals and to NOT sign any blue proxy they may send you.
|_| The proxy you previously returned was undated. (Please date the
enclosed proxy, and sign it with the name shown on the proxy.)
|_| The proxy you previously returned was not signed by all
registered owners. (If shares are registered in the name of more
than one person, each person should sign the proxy. If shares are
held by joint owners and one is deceased, the enclosed proxy
should be signed by the remaining joint owner(s), who should
indicate that they are the surviving joint owner(s). If two or
more owners hold shares as tenants-in-common and one is deceased,
the enclosed proxy should be signed by the executor or
administrator of the deceased owner, and proof of the signatory's
status as an executor or administrator should be returned with
the proxy.)
|_| The proxy you previously returned omitted your title or
authority. (If you are signing as attorney, executor,
administrator, corporate officer, authorized officer of a
partnership, trustee or guardian, please sign and give your full
title on the enclosed proxy.)
|_| The proxy you previously returned, as marked, did not clearly
specify your voting instructions. (Please sign, date and clearly
mark the enclosed proxy.)
|_| Other
------------------------------------------------------------
(Please date and sign with the name shown on the enclosed proxy.)
The Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 17, 2003. Since time
is short, we would sincerely appreciate your signing, dating and promptly
mailing the enclosed WHITE proxy card today.
If you have any questions or need assistance in voting your shares,
please call us toll free at 1-800-322-2885. Thank you for your cooperation.
Very truly yours,
MACKENZIE PARTNERS, INC.
