Douglas Daft
Chairman, CEO
Coca-Cola Company

Dear Mr Daft,

As a representative of more than one shareholder of your company's common stock (KO), we are quite puzzled by your recent marketing pact with America Online (AOL). Can you please explain why you plan on spending upwards of $64 million dollars on obsolete information plants.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Daniel
