     Upon and subject to the terms and  conditions  set forth in the  prospectus
dated ________, 2002 (the "Prospectus"),  and the enclosed Letter of Transmittal
(the "Letter of  Transmittal"),  an offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") the
registered  6.10% Notes due 2012 (the "New  Notes") for any and all  outstanding
6.10%  Notes  due  2012  (the  "Old  Notes")  is  being  made  pursuant  to such
Prospectus.  The  Exchange  Offer is being  made in  order  to  satisfy  certain
obligations of SYSCO International,  Co. ("SYSCO International") and its parent,
SYSCO  Corporation  ("SYSCO"),  contained in the Registration  Rights Agreement,
dated as of May 23, 2002,  between SYSCO  International,  SYSCO and J.P.  Morgan
Securities  Inc.,  on its  own  behalf  and  as  representative  of the  initial
purchasers of the Old Notes (the "Initial Purchasers").

     We are requesting that you contact your clients for whom you hold Old Notes
regarding the Exchange  Offer.  For your  information and for forwarding to your
clients  for whom you hold Old Notes  registered  in your name or in the name of
your  nominee,  or who hold Old  Notes  registered  in their own  names,  we are
enclosing the following documents:

     1. Prospectus dated __________, 2002;

     2. The Letter of Transmittal  for your use and for the  information of your
clients;

     3. A Notice of Guaranteed  Delivery to be used to accept the Exchange Offer
if  certificates  for Old Notes are not  immediately  available or time will not
permit  all  required  documents  to  reach  the  Exchange  Agent  prior  to the
Expiration  Date (as defined below) or if the procedure for book-entry  transfer
cannot be completed on a timely basis;

     4. A form of letter which may be sent to your clients for whose account you
hold Old Notes  registered in your name or the name of your nominee,  with space
provided for obtaining  such clients'  instructions  with regard to the Exchange
Offer; and

     5.  Guidelines  for  Certification  of  Taxpayer  Identification  Number on
Substitute Form W-9.

     Your prompt  action is  requested.  The Exchange  Offer will expire at 5:00
p.m.,  New  York  City  time,  on  _________,  2002,  unless  extended  by SYSCO
International  (the  "Expiration  Date").  Old Notes  tendered  pursuant  to the
Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time before the Expiration Date.

     To  participate  in the  Exchange  Offer,  a  duly  executed  and  properly
completed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof or Agent's Message in lieu
thereof),  with  any  required  signature  guarantees  and  any  other  required
documents,  should be sent to the Exchange Agent, and certificates  representing
the Old Notes,  or a timely  confirmation  of a book-entry  transfer of such Old
Notes  should be delivered to the Exchange  Agent,  all in  accordance  with the
instructions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and the Prospectus.




     If holders of Old Notes wish to tender, but it is impracticable for them to
forward their certificates for Old Notes prior to the expiration of the Exchange
Offer or to comply with the book-entry  transfer procedures on a timely basis, a
tender may be effected by following the guaranteed delivery procedures described
in the  Prospectus  under the caption "The Exchange  Offer--Guaranteed  Delivery
Procedures."
