The proxy materials for our going-private transaction have been mailed and
should soon be received by all employees who currently own CBRE stock. Please be
sure and look for these materials in your mail. If you do not receive the proxy
by the end of next week, please contact Walt Stafford at (415) 733-5502 to
arrange for a new proxy to be sent.

The proxy document is your voting document. Whether you intend to vote yes or no
in regards to the going-private transaction, it is important that you vote.

We hope that each of you will take the time to review these materials carefully,
make your decision and then vote your shares. For those of you who hold CBRE
shares in your U.S. 401K or DCP plan you will be receiving a separate election
form for those shares.

Over the next few weeks we will be setting up a more formal process using a U.S.
800 number to answer any questions you might have regarding the process of
voting your shares and selling/rolling your shares. In the interim, we wanted to
alert you regarding the important fact that if you own CBRE shares the proxy
materials should have been delivered to you or will be delivered to you shortly,
and that it is very important that you vote those shares that you own.
