Dear Stockholder:
We are writing to inform you that the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the
funds listed above (the "Funds"), originally scheduled for December 15, 1999,
was adjourned until January 20, 2000 in order to give stockholders additional

election of directors and Item 3, the selection of auditors, were both approved
on December 15. The Funds' records indicate that we have not yet received voting
instructions from you. All votes are vital no matter how many shares you hold
and the Funds' records indicate that as of October 20, 1999, ("Record Date" for
the Meeting) you were holding shares in one or more of the Funds. If you have
not already voted, we urge you to act promptly in order to allow us to obtain a
sufficient number of votes to hold the meeting as scheduled and avoid the
