Dear Mr. Hedgebeth:

This letter is intended to serve as notice (the “Notice”) to Circuit City Stores, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Circuit City” or the “Company”), as to the submission by Wattles Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WCM”), of two (2) business proposals for consideration at the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders of Circuit City, or any other meeting of shareholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof (the “2008 Annual Meeting”).

WCM is the beneficial owner of 11,000,0001 shares of common stock, $0.50 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Circuit City, 1,000 shares of which are held of record by WCM.

WCM hereby gives written notice of its intention to submit the following business proposals for consideration at the 2008 Annual Meeting:

To remove, without cause, each member of Circuit City’s Board of Directors (“the Circuit City Board”), and any person (other than those elected by the Company’s shareholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting) elected or appointed to the Circuit City Board by such directors to fill any vacancy on the Circuit City Board or any newly-created directorships at any time from the date hereof until and including the conclusion of the 2008 Annual Meeting; and
