(The following information is being distributed to employees
by the KCPL Team, a grassroots movement in support of the
KCPL/UCU merger)

     You will probably get a number of proxies in the mail.
     As a matter of fact, you'll get 2 or 3 for any account
     you have.  That is, stock you have in our 401k, stock
     you have in a  brokerage account (street name), stock
     you have in your name, etc.  You will also probably get
     a blue proxy card(s) from Western.
     
     Remember, the only vote that counts is the last card
     you return for a partucular account--whether white or
     blue.  So voting for the KCPL-UtiliCorp merger means
     turning in a YES vote on the white card(s) last.
     
     You can trun in your proxy card(s) at the employee
     rally being held downtown on May 14, 11:00 AM, at
     Barney Allis plaza.  Folks at remote locations can put
     their proxies in a box being sent to the designate at
     each location later this week.  That box with your
     votes will be brought to the rally.  You may also mail
     in your vote with the pre-addressed envelopes provided
     with the proxy.
     
     Any special questions regarding proxies and stock can
     be answered by calling Investor Relations at 556-2053
     or 556-2312.
     
     Thanks and see ya Tuesday...................remember to
     check with your supervisor before going to the
     rally..........
