May 3, 1995                                                                     

Dear Shareholder:                                                               

Recently you received a Notice of the Annual Meeting of                         
Shareholders of Fingerhut Companies, Inc. to be held on May                     
18, 1995, along with a proxy statement and a proxy or voting                    
instructions card.  Proposal 2 in the proxy statement                           
requested proxies to vote on the approval of the Fingerhut                      
Companies, Inc. 1995 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option                       
Plan (the "1995 Stock Option Plan").                                            

On May 3, 1995, the 1995 Stock Option Plan was amended to                       
reduce the maximum number of shares issuable under the plan                     
from 2,500,000 to 2,250,000 in order for Proposal 2 to be                       
treated as a routine matter under the New York Stock                            
Exchange voting rules.  All other provisions of the 1995                        
Stock Option Plan remain unchanged and are as described in                      
the proxy statement.                                                            

Fingerhut believes that stock options and other stock-based                     
awards are valuable methods for attracting, motivating and,                     
especially under the current circumstances, retaining key                       
management employees.  The Board of Directors believes this                     
is in the best interests of the shareholders and continues                      
to recommend a vote FOR Proposal 2 to approve the 1995 Stock                    
Option Plan.                                                                    

If you have not already done so, we encourage you to                            
complete and return your proxy or voting instructions card.
