Dear Stockholder:
We previously mailed you information relative to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. to be held on May 1, 2013.
According to our latest records, we have not yet received your vote. The Annual Meeting is now only a short time away. It is important that you sign and return your Voting Instruction Form today in order to make sure that your shares will be voted at the meeting in accordance with your desires. If you hold your shares in the name of a brokerage firm, your broker cannot vote your shares on certain proposals unless they receive your specific instructions.
Your board of directors recommends that you vote FOR proposals 1, 2 and 3.
In the event that your proxy materials have been misplaced, we are enclosing a duplicate Voting Instruction Form and return envelope.
Please sign and date the enclosed Voting Instruction Form (or follow the telephone & internet instructions) today. In the event that two Voting Instructions Forms are received from you, the one bearing the latest date will be counted, as it automatically revokes all prior proxies.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
Sincerely,
Scott J. Ulm
Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-Vice Chairman
