these  instructions.  I further agree that if I choose to use  electronic  funds
transfer to purchase funds or receive proceeds from withdrawals,  I will provide
accurate instructions to whatifi.com for transferring funds.

service  providers  may apply) either via e-mail or on the Web site for viewing,
downloading and printing. I realize, however, that I may request paper copies of
the above information via US mail for free by sending a written,  signed request
to Whatifi Funds, P.O. Box 18213, Columbus OH 43218-2113. I realize that if I do
