enclosed new GOLD proxy with the correction indicated below. The new proxy will
automatically revoke any previous proxy when it is returned to us in the
postage-paid envelope provided for your convenience.

      administrator, corporate officer, trustee or guardian, please give your
      full title as such.)

      proxy in the enclosed envelope.)

      attorney, executor, administrator, corporate officer, trustee or guardian,
      please give your full title as such.)

      registered in the name of more than one person, each such person should
