Exhibit 99.4

INTER-OFFICE MEMO

Over the past several months, our Board of Directors and management team have been working diligently on a comprehensive review of our business to determine the best path forward for our great Company. Today, I am excited to announce that we have completed our review and have announced our entry into an agreement to merge with Dollar Tree, Inc. The transaction will create a stronger retail competitor in North America, operating more than 13,000 stores in 48 states and five Canadian provinces, with sales exceeding $18 billion and over 145,000 employees. For your reference a copy of today’s press release is attached.

Many of you will likely reflect on this announcement and what it means. Since Leon Levine – my father – opened the first Family Dollar store in 1959 in Charlotte, North Carolina, we have grown throughout the United States and now have more than 8,100 stores in 46 states with sales in excess of $10 billion. While we have grown significantly, we still maintain the same principle on which my father founded the Company - satisfy the customer and the customer will return. Today’s announcement represents a huge milestone in our history, is a validation of what we collectively have achieved over the past 50 years, and is the right next step for our Company.

As many of you may know, Dollar Tree also has a rich history with its roots going back more than 50 years. It is a Fortune 500 company that has grown to become one of the most successful retailers in the country with approximately 5,000 stores across the United States and Canada, supported by more than 87,000 associates. Dollar Tree shares our deep-rooted commitment to providing customers with convenience and value, and together, the combined company will further this commitment to providing customers with great, every day values. I have known Bob Sasser, the CEO of Dollar Tree, for a long time and am very familiar with Dollar Tree. I believe that Bob and the Dollar Tree management team will help us maintain our successful business model for the long-term. I will remain with the Company and look forward to working with Bob to deliver increased value to our customers.

We will continue to operate stores under the Family Dollar banner, and joining with Dollar Tree represents a tremendous opportunity to give our brand immediate access to new stores, new markets and new channels for growth. As with any transition of this nature, it will take time, but given the complementary nature of our businesses and our similar heritage and values, we expect a strong cultural fit and smooth transition. Ultimately, we expect that Family Dollar Team Members will have more opportunities for growth and development by being part of a larger, more diverse company.

I would like to emphasize that we are still early in the process, and we expect it will take several months to close the transaction. Until the transaction is completed, Family Dollar is still an

independent company, and you should maintain the confidentiality of any Family Dollar information. Our priorities have not changed, and our customers must remain our number one focus. The best way you can help is to continue to concentrate on what has made Family Dollar such a successful company – providing our customers with great customer service.

At this point in the process, work begins to satisfy the conditions to closing the transaction, including obtaining the necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals. We anticipate that the closing of the transaction will occur by early 2015. Upon completion of the transaction, Family Dollar will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dollar Tree and will maintain the Family Dollar brand.

As you can imagine, this announcement is likely to attract significant external interest. As always, it is important that the Company speaks with one voice. If you receive any inquiries from members of the media, investment community or other interested parties, please immediately forward them to Kiley Rawlins at (704) 708-2858.

We recognize that you may have many questions about this announcement, and we have prepared answers to what we anticipate will be some of your top questions. Additionally, we will host a conference call today at 10:30 a.m., E.T. to give you the opportunity to hear from me and ask any additional questions. The dial-in number of the conference call is 888-663-2242. You can also access a webcast of the call from the homepage of The Aisles. Your leadership will also host Town Hall meetings later today.

I want to thank you for your commitment to Family Dollar. Because of your hard work and dedication, we have reached this great milestone, and I hope that you share my enthusiasm about this combination and the next step towards an exciting future.
