Exhibit 99.3

April 7, 2014

Dear Valued Vocus Customer:

I’d like to share some exciting news about Vocus, Inc. (“Vocus”). Today, April 7, 2014, we are announcing that Vocus has entered into an agreement to be acquired by GTCR Valor Merger Sub, Inc., an affiliate of GTCR LLC (“GTCR”), pursuant to a tender offer transaction. Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, once this transaction is complete, Vocus will be a private company.

More details of this announcement can be found in our press release: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/04/prweb11739616.htm.

GTCR is a highly regarded, growth-oriented private equity firm with deep expertise in technology. They share values for the things that have always been important to us, including developing great products, delivering incredible customer service and developing talented employees. We believe there is a significant opportunity to leverage each other’s strengths. As a private company we can also be less quarterly driven, with more flexibility to make strategic investments to drive powerful innovation and achieve long-term success. GTCR is investing in Vocus because they believe in our ability to remain a market leader and continue our history of meeting customer needs with innovative cloud-based solutions. Vocus plans to continue to execute on current initiatives and introduce new initiatives to help our customers navigate an increasingly complex landscape of evolving communications and marketing channels.

We currently expect the transaction to close before the end of the second quarter of 2014.

We are proud of the company we have built and even more proud of the work we have done with you and your organization. We will continue to strive to deliver the high-quality solutions and service that you have come to expect from Vocus.

Sincerely,

Rick Rudman

Chairman and CEO
