At noon today, the following letter should be delivered to a selection of
Radio Shack stores in Westchester County. Please each deliver to one Radio
Shack by hand, if possible, or by fax, or telephone call :

Dear Store Manager:

Radio Shack sells Sprint PCS products. Residents of the Ossining Union Free
School District currently face the prospect of having a cell tower imposed
upon their only high school. Regardless of what Sprint or other cell
providers may claim, the fact is that the medical science is out on whether
or not cell phones and cell towers are safe, and some studies indicate
possible dangers, including brain cancer, leukemia, impaired memory
function and learning ability.

Although Sprint has suffered a great deal of negative publicity in the
metropolitan area and beyond over this, Sprint refuses to budge, ignoring
the hundreds of Ossining residents have attended several rallies about the
issue to demonstrate their opposition to this planned bombardment of our
adolescents with microwave radiation for the next 20 years. They continue
to say that they fully intend to build this thing soon.

Sprint products are prominently featured in Radio Shack stores. As we
continue and accelerate the roll-out of our public relations campaign in
New York State and nationally, Radio Shack customers that are opposed to
Sprint's behavior in Ossining and elsewhere may begin to experience some
cognitive dissonance over the public association of their favorite store
with such practices.

We hope, instead, that you will contact the regional Radio Shack offices
and ask that they call Sprint immediately to inquire about Sprint's
intentions in Ossining and elsewhere.

Thank you.
