Why did you send me this proxy statement?

     The Board of Directors of Community National Bancorporation, a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), has sent this proxy statement to you to solicit your proxy to vote at the Company’s 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 26, 2004, beginning at 10:00 a.m. local time (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held at The Thrasher House, 720 Hudson Avenue, Ashburn, Georgia 31714. This proxy statement contains important information about the proposal to be considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy or voting instruction card.
