THE FOLLOWING LETTER, WHICH IS TO ACCOMPANY A DIVIDEND PAYABLE BY THE COMPANY ON
OCTOBER 31, 2003, MAY BE DEEMED TO BE DEFINITIVE ADDITIONAL PROXY SOLICITATION
MATERIALS.


October 31, 2003

Dear Shareholder:

It gives me great pleasure to enclose the $.05 per share annual dividend
declared by the Board of Directors on September 26, 2003, that is payable to
shareholders of record on October 17, 2003.

This dividend, which is our first in many years, reflects the strong financial
position of the Company and the Board's desire to disburse extra cash to its
shareholders, especially in light of the favorable new tax rate. Our strong cash
position also enabled us to prepay our bank loan and become debt free.

As always, we wish to thank you, our shareholders, for your commitment and your
continued faith in our Company.

Sincerely,

DRYCLEAN USA, Inc.


Michael Steiner
President
