Dear Nickname:

This is a very exciting time for ARAMARK and all of our shareholders. As you can
imagine, the process of moving from our privately owned environment to public
ownership involves many steps. We want to make sure that, as a shareholder, you
understand the process and have the information you will need to make a number
of important decisions in the coming weeks.

Attached is a schedule of information and materials you will be receiving
concerning your stock ownership and how it will be affected by our proposed
initial public offering. The first of these communications, the pre-merger
letter and accompanying materials from Marie Paschall, is also enclosed in this
package. Please take time to carefully consider this first communication and
provide the requested information.

Also, please be aware of the following important information:

. The current schedule will result in the proposed initial public offering
occurring in mid-December. Obviously, there can be no guarantees this
schedule will remain in place.

. If the current schedule remains in place, the proposed tender offer will
occur during the annual stock exercise period. If so, it could result in
the stock-for-stock exchange and internal market features being unavailable
during this period due to SEC restrictions.

. If the stock-for-stock exchange and internal market features are
unavailable, the deferred payment program will be enhanced to provide 90%
financing on all installments that will expire at the end of this exercise
period. You will receive further information on this in future mailings.

Because of the nature of these transactions, we encourage you to discuss the
material you receive with your tax advisor, where appropriate. References to tax
treatment in the enclosed document are based on U. S. tax law. In the meantime,
if you have any questions, please call First Union National Bank Shareholder
Services at 1-888-966-9637, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST.
To assist us throughout this process, the dedicated representatives for our
account are Kathy Biddle and Peggy Romanelli.

Sincerely,

/s/ Brian G. Mulvaney
