I wanted to share the following I received from Ann Taylor Loft Stores. One
of the other stores on the list I sent earlier in the week was Lowe's. My
younger son is a loss prevention specialist at the Lincolnwood store and
knew of no pending store closures. If anyone would know, he would,
particularly in his region. I'm glad no one gave that list credibility and
apologize if anyone was concerned about getting gift cards as a result.

Dear Valued Client:
It has come to our attention that false and misleading information,
regarding our Company and our store closure program, is circulating on the
Web, as
part of a hoax to scare consumers away from purchasing gift cards. Ann
Taylor is a financially strong Company that operates nearly 1,000 Ann
Taylor, LOFT,
Ann Taylor Factory and LOFT Outlet stores across the U.S. In January 2008,
we announced plans to close some underperforming stores, as part of a
strategic
restructuring program to make us an even stronger Company that can continue
to serve you in the future. Our gift cards continue to be a popular and
great
option for gifting this Holiday season and can be redeemed at any of our
stores, as well as online at anntaylor.com and anntaylorLOFT.com. We look
forward
to serving you again soon!
Kay Krill
President and Chief Executive Officer
Ann Taylor Stores Corporation
