YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT TO US

Dear Entergy Shareholder:

We value your input as a holder of Entergy Corporation common stock. To date, our records indicate that we have not received your vote on the matters to be presented at our upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held on May 7, 2010, at the Hilton Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi. The agenda includes the election of directors, the ratification of the selection of our independent registered accountants, and approval of the Amended and Restated Entergy Corporation Executive Annual Incentive Plan.

We urge you to vote your shares “FOR” each of the director nominees and each of the other proposals on the agenda for the meeting as soon as possible. You may choose to vote by mail, by telephone or via the Internet. For your convenience, a duplicate proxy card and return envelope are enclosed, along with telephone and Internet voting instructions.

If you already have voted, we thank you for your response and your continued support.

Thank you for your investment in Entergy Corporation and your consideration of this matter.
 
 
Sincerely,

/s/ J. Wayne Leonard
J. Wayne Leonard
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer





 ***IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT VOTING YOUR SHARES***
Recently, NYSE and SEC rule changes were enacted changing how shares held in brokerage accounts are voted in director elections. If YOU do not vote your shares on proposal one (Election of Directors), your brokerage firm can no longer vote them for you; your shares will remain unvoted. Previously, if your broker did not receive instructions from you, they were permitted to vote your shares for you in director elections. However, starting January 1, 2010, under changes to NYSE Rule 452, brokers will no longer be allowed to vote uninstructed shares.

Therefore, it is very important that you vote your shares for all proposals including the election of directors.

In addition to checking the appropriate boxes on the enclosed vote instruction form, signing and returning it in the enclosed postage paid envelope, there are two additional convenient ways to vote that are available 24 hours a day:
