Dear Stockholder:

You recently received a copy of the Proxy Statement, dated January 27, 2003, of
MAXIMUS, Inc. for the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on March
18, 2003.

The last line of the security ownership table appearing on page 3 of the Proxy
Statement contains a typographical error indicating that all directors and
executive officers as a group beneficially own 7,143,266 shares of common stock.
This number is incorrect. The correct number of shares of common stock
beneficially owned by all directors and executive officers as a group is
3,067,823 shares. The 14.2% figure appearing in the last line of the table is
correct.

In the event that you have already returned your proxy card and wish to change
your vote as a result of this correction, please call Lisa Miles at (703)
251-8637 or James Robertson at (617) 239-0586 to obtain another proxy card.
Proxy cards will also be available at the Annual Meeting.

Very truly yours,

/s/ David R. Francis

David R. Francis
Secretary
