The following notice, along with a third proxy card, is being mailed on January 2, 2008 to shareholders of First Charter Corporation who have not voted by telephone or Internet or returned the proxy card that was initially mailed, along with a joint proxy statement/prospectus, on or about December 3, 2007.

January 2, 2008

The Special Meeting of Shareholders is approximately 2 weeks away

Dear Shareholder,

The special meeting of shareholders of First Charter will be held in approximately 2 weeks, on January 18, 2008. According to our records, your vote has not yet been received.

At the special meeting, shareholders are being asked to approve an agreement providing for the merger of First Charter with and into Fifth Third. If the merger is approved and completed, each outstanding share of First Charter common stock will be exchanged for either $31.00 in cash or such number of shares of Fifth Third common stock that have a value of $31.00.

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” approval of the merger agreement and “FOR” the approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary to solicit additional proxies.

Every vote counts

Your vote is extremely important; the merger cannot be completed unless it is approved by 75% of the outstanding stock of First Charter entitled to vote as of the record date.

Please take the time now to cast your vote. You can do so by following the instructions on the enclosed card to vote by telephone or Internet. You can also vote by signing, dating and returning the proxy card in the envelope provided.

If you have any questions regarding voting, or if you need assistance in voting, please call our proxy solicitor, Morrow & Co. LLC, toll-free at (877) 807-8896.

Sincerely,

Robert E. James, Jr.
President and Chief Executive Officer
