Altria Letter to shareholders

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE SPIN-OFF OF KRAFT FOODS INC.


1. I own Altria shares. What will I receive as a result of the spin-off?
Altria will distribute 0.692024 of a share of Kraft Class A common stock for each share of Altria common stock outstanding as of the Record Date for the Distribution, subject to adjustment as provided herein. The distribution ratio is based on the number of Kraft shares owned by Altria divided by the Altria shares outstanding on that date.

No action is required by Altria’s shareholders to receive their Kraft Class A common stock. The Distribution of Kraft’s outstanding shares owned by Altria will be made on the Distribution Date.

3. What is the Record Date for the Distribution, and when will the Distribution occur?
The Record Date is March 16, 2007, and ownership is determined as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that date. Shares of Kraft Class A common stock will be distributed on March 30, 2007. We refer to this date as the Distribution Date.

4. What do I have to do to participate in the Distribution?
You will receive 0.692024 of a share of Kraft Class A common stock for each share of Altria common stock held as of the Record Date, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

5. If I sell my shares of Altria common stock before the Distribution Date, will I still be entitled to receive Kraft shares in the Distribution?
If you sell your shares of Altria common stock prior to or on the Distribution Date, you may also be selling your right to receive shares of Kraft Class A common stock.

On the Distribution Date, Altria’s shareholders will receive 0.692024 of a share of Kraft Class A common stock for each share of Altria common stock that they own, subject to adjustment as provided herein. The market value of each Altria share, however, will adjust to reflect the spin-off and, hence, the loss of the valueof the Kraft stock.
