                             AIM FLOATING RATE FUND
                        Special Meeting of Shareholders
                    to be held on Friday, February 25, 2000



     Dear Shareholder:

     Recently we distributed proxy material regarding the Special Meeting of
     Shareholders for the AIM Floating Rate Fund (the "Fund") scheduled to take
     place on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2000. The Fund's records indicate that we
     have not yet received your voting instructions. Please take a few moments
     to cast your vote in order to reduce the need for additional solicitation
     efforts or costly meeting adjournments. If you do not plan to attend the
     Meeting, we need to receive your vote prior to the Meeting on Friday,
     February 25, 2000.

     The Fund is seeking your approval of two proposals relating to the
     restructuring of the Fund, as well as two more routine proposals. Since
     its inception in 1997, the Fund has grown to well over $400 million in net
     assets. Despite this impressive growth, the Board of Directors of the Fund
     (the "Board") believes that additional improvements to the Fund could
     benefit Fund shareholders. For example, the Fund currently offers a single
     class of shares to investors. In accordance with recent regulatory
     developments, the Fund, if it reorganizes, could offer investors a choice
     of shares similar to the choices available to shareholders in open-end
     funds. For more information regarding these proposals, please refer to the
     proxy statement previously mailed to you or call Shareholder
     Communications Corporation, the Fund's proxy solicitation agent at
     1-800-786-5285.

     AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, THE BOARD HAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED EACH
     PROPOSAL. THE BOARD BELIEVES THAT THESE CHANGES WILL BENEFIT THE FUND AND
     ITS SHAREHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR EACH PROPOSAL.

     For your convenience, we have established four easy methods for you to
