IMPORTANT: PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT BY VOTING THE ENCLOSED WHITEPROXY CARD TODAY!

April 26, 2006

Dear Fellow infoUSA Shareholder,

With infoUSA's Annual Meeting of stockholders approaching, we urgeyou to vote FOR your Board's nominees - Vinod Gupta, Dr. George Haddixand Dr. Vasant Raval - by signing, dating and returning the WHITEproxy card TODAY.

PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE VALUE OF YOUR infoUSA INVESTMENT VOTE FORYOUR BOARD'S NOMINEES AND AGAINST PROPOSAL NUMBER 2 ON THE WHITE PROXYCARD

Dolphin Limited Partnership I, L.P. ("Dolphin") is a hedge fundand dissident shareholder with a history of activism. As you may know,despite the fact that Dolphin has been an investor in infoUSA for lessthan a year, it has initiated a disruptive proxy contest in oppositionto your Board of Directors. Your Board is unanimously opposed to theirnominees and believes that their election would not be in the bestinterest of shareholders. We urge you to disregard their materials andthe blue proxy card and to preserve and enhance the value of yourinfoUSA investment by supporting the incumbent nominees.

We want you to know more about Dolphin and its principal, Mr.Donald T. Netter. Mr. Netter served as an officer and Director of acorporation guilty of Medicare fraud. Enclosed is information aboutthe man and the firm. We encourage you to read it carefully. When youdo, we believe that you will conclude that voting the WHITE card FORthe incumbent Directors is in your best interests.

Dolphin is also seeking your support of a proposed bylaw amendmentthat would limit the ability of infoUSA's Board of Directors to fillvacancies on the Board. The Company has received the written opinionof its legal advisor that Dolphin's proposed bylaw amendment would beinvalid under Delaware law. Your Board believes this proposal is notin the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and urgesyou to vote AGAINST shareholder proposal number 2.

infoUSA's BOARD AND MANAGEMENT TEAM ARE EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENTING ASTRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN THAT IS WORKING

Your Board has overseen the effective implementation of infoUSA'sstrategic plan and we believe that your Board's nominees (Vinod Gupta- the Company's founder, CEO and largest shareholder; Dr. GeorgeHaddix - Chair of the Board's Nominating and Corporate GovernanceCommittee; and Dr. Vasant Raval - Chair of the Board's AuditCommittee) are critical to its continued successful execution. Webelieve that the election of the dissident nominees would bedisruptive and could impair the implementation of the Company'sstrategic plan. Critical elements of the Company's strategic planinclude:

-- Increasing infoUSA's subscription customer base -- which now exceeds 35,000 -- for its exciting subscription services such as SalesGenie.com, SalesLeadsUSA.com, Credit.net and others.

-- Adding new subscribers builds infoUSA's recurring revenue base, and during the first quarter infoUSA added 6,000 plus subscribers. That's an increase of more than 18% in just three months!

-- Continuing to invest in advertising and branding to further expand the customer base and increase future revenue. As subscriptions build up and advertising expense stays consistent, infoUSA expects revenue growth to exceed advertising expense, improving the Company's overall margins and creating a strong business-to-business brand.

-- Developing the Company's international sales force and increasing infoUSA's presence in international markets. Among other international growth opportunities, the Company, under the oversight of your Board and with the direct involvement of your CEO, is developing a small business database in the UK.

-- Expanding infoUSA's presence in political, non-profit, charitable and governmental markets, where there is a tremendous opportunity to leverage the Company's existing databases. The Company has blue-chip customers in this marketplace.

-- Acquiring small direct marketing companies and market research companies from current owners, many of whom do not have any exit strategy. Your Board supports the successful strategy of pursuing opportunities to further consolidate this industry and increase shareholder value. infoUSA has completed 26 acquisitions and has been very successful in increasing shareholder value.

-- Reducing corporate expenses to improve margins and enhance shareholder value. For example, in 2005 infoUSA migrated its data center from an outsourced mainframe to an in-house data center, which is making the Company more productive while reducing costs.

-- Improving the performance of the Company's Donnelley Group. Already most of the divisions in the Donnelly Group have shown growth. During the first quarter Donnelly delivered growth in booked revenue and increased infoUSA's GAAP revenue.

infoUSA also has an excellent track record of developing andinvesting in strategic partnerships, including successful investmentsin such companies as MetroMail, infoSpace and Hogan InformationSystems. In addition, infoUSA has deep license relationships withGoogle, AOL, Yahoo!, infoSpace, Microsoft, salesforce.com and otherleading companies. infoUSA's successful investment strategy andvaluable license relationships help the company to enhance shareholdervalue.

infoUSA shareholders are already reaping the rewards of thissuccessful business plan as evidenced by the Company's record resultsin the first quarter of 2006. infoUSA's revenue increased from $95million in the first quarter of 2005 to $103 million this year, anincrease of 8%. infoUSA delivered 4.3% organic revenue growth in thefirst quarter, with the balance of the increase from acquisitions. TheCompany's strategic plan is working. We believe that electing thedissident nominees could disrupt this success and threaten the Board'seffort to create long-term value for all infoUSA stockholders.

Your Board and management have been steadfast in their commitmentto pursuing opportunities that are in the best interests of all ourstockholders. Through their extensive market knowledge and industryexperience, infoUSA's Board and management team have made infoUSA anindustry leader with customers and operations worldwide.

WHO IS DOLPHIN?

WHO IS DONALD T. NETTER?

NETTER SERVED AS AN OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OF A CORPORATION GUILTYOF MEDICARE FRAUD.

Dolphin Limited Partnership I, L.P. ("Dolphin") and its principal,Donald T. Netter, are asking to act as your proxy in order to changethe composition and direction of infoUSA's Board of Directors. You maynot know much about Dolphin because, unlike public companies such asinfoUSA, hedge funds operate with little regulatory oversight and havelimited disclosure obligations. In making your decision, you shouldconsider the following facts:

-- Dolphin was established in 1994 under the umbrella of Independence Holding Corp. ("IHC").(1)

-- IHC is a publicly-traded insurance holding company that was and continues to be controlled by Edward Netter, Donald Netter's father, and Geneve Corporation, a privately held company controlled by the Netter family.(2)

-- At the time that Dolphin was formed, Donald Netter served concurrently as Senior Vice President of Investments at the publicly-held but Netter family-controlled IHC and as Vice President of Investments at the privately-held Geneve. Donald Netter also served on the Board of Directors of IHC.(3)

-- Dolphin's General Partner and its management company were both wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the privately-held Netter family business, Geneve.(4)

-- Publicly-traded IHC was one of the initial Limited Partners in Dolphin and by December 1995, IHC had invested more than $4 million in Dolphin - almost half of the partnership's capital.(5)

-- IHC continued to increase its investment in Dolphin. Dolphin's own financial statements in 1997 noted that, "As of December 31, 1997, a majority of the Limited Partners are ultimately controlled by an individual who is related to the General Partner."(6)

-- As of December 31, 2005, IHC continues to have a multi-million Dollar investment in Dolphin.(7)

In short, Mr. Netter's hedge fund and the management fees receivedby its General Partner and management company have been financed inpart by the minority shareholders of the publicly-traded entitiesdominated by his family.

EXAMINE DOLPHIN'S TRACK RECORD: DOLPHIN AND NETTER LOST PROXYCONTEST TO DAVE & BUSTER'S INCUMBENT DIRECTORS

In 2003 Mr. Netter launched a proxy fight against Dave & Buster's.As is the case with his investment in infoUSA, Mr. Netter acquired hisposition in Dave & Buster's in the midst of a proposed managementbuyout. In that instance, the public records demonstrate that Mr.Netter led a proxy fight in an effort to force the sale of thecompany. Notably, the shareholders of Dave & Buster's voted down Mr.Netter and Dolphin and reelected the incumbent nominees.

Shareholders are urged to compare the tactics used by Dolphin inthe Dave & Buster's proxy contest with the chronology of their actionsset forth in their own proxy statement filed in connection withinfoUSA:

-- Dolphin did not make its first investment in infoUSA until June 20, 2005, after the announcement that Vin Gupta made an offer to acquire all of the shares of the Company that he did not already own.

-- On August 31, 2005, approximately two months after its initial investment and one week after the announcement that Mr. Gupta had withdrawn his proposal, Dolphin sent a letter to the Board declaring its impatience with the Board.

-- Dolphin continued to increase its stake in infoUSA. In fact, after expressing its impatience, Dolphin increased its investment in the Company tenfold.

-- On March 14, 2006, Dolphin sent a letter to the Company recommending that Karl L. Meyer, one of its current nominees, be nominated to fill a recent vacancy on the Board for a term expiring in 2008.

-- On March 15, 2006 Dolphin issued a press release making its letter public.

-- On March 17, 2006, a mere three days later and even before the Board had a chance to consider the first letter, Dolphin sent another letter to the Board enclosing notice of intention to nominate Mr. Meyer and two others for terms on the Board ending in 2009. Dolphin chose not to publicly announce its change of direction until March 28, 2006.

Do you believe that these are the actions of an investor wantingto participate in the long-term growth of the Company?

NETTER SERVED AS AN OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OF A CORPORATION GUILTYOF MEDICARE FRAUD THAT PAID MASSIVE CRIMINAL AND CIVIL FINES OF $119MILLION

We think that before you vote your proxy you should know someimportant facts about Mr. Netter's experience with publicly-tradedcompanies not already controlled by his family.

-- The only time that Mr. Netter has held any leadership position at a publicly-held company not affiliated with his family was when he served as a director and officer of Damon Corp.(8)

-- Mr. Netter and other parties initiated a hostile takeover of Damon Corp. and assumed control of the company in 1989.(9)

-- During the period Mr. Netter served as a member of the Board of Directors and held high-level executive positions at Damon Corp., including treasurer,(10) Damon Corp. engaged in a massive Medicare fraud.(11)

-- As a result of a Department of Justice investigation of Medicare fraud, Damon Corp. paid $119 million in criminal fines and civil settlements.(12)

-- At the time, the $119 million was the largest fine ever for a healthcare fraud case.(13)

-- According to newspaper reports, the federal prosecutor involved in the case described the fraud as "corporate greed run amok."(14)

-- Mr. Netter and the other Damon directors failed to disclose to investigators and shareholders evidence of Medicare billing irregularities they discovered during an internal investigation.(15)

-- Soon after Mr. Netter left the Damon Board of Director's in 1993, Dolphin Partners was formed.

We believe the sequence of events and these actions speak forthemselves. Now that you know more about Dolphin and Mr. Netter, wouldyou trust Mr. Netter to pick your Board of Directors?

WE BELIEVE THAT ELECTING THE DISSIDENT SLATE WOULD BE DISRUPTIVETO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND COULD IMPAIRSHAREHOLDER VALUE
