SECOND REQUEST
PLEASE VOTE, SIGN, AND RETURN YOUR CARD(S) TODAY
September 2, 1999
Dear Shareholder,
We recently sent you proxy materials for your investments in the Carnegie Funds
Group and have not yet received your vote.
On July 27, 1999 the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Funds approved a proposal
to terminate the funds which would be implemented by liquidating the assets and
distributing them in cash form to all shareholders. The Board of Trustees is
recommending that the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution be approved based on
recent events that have made it difficult to provide a favorable investment
return.
YOU MAY NO LONGER OWN SHARES IN ANY FUND OF THE CARNEGIE FUNDS GROUP. HOWEVER,
IF YOU WERE A SHAREHOLDER AS OF THE RECORD DATE OF AUGUST 6, 1999, YOUR VOTE
STILL COUNTS AND IS NEEDED TO APPROVE THE PLAN OF LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION.
For your convenience, we are enclosing another proxy ballot form along with a
pre-paid postage envelope.
PLEASE SEND IN YOUR VOTE TODAY!
We appreciate your time and attention to this important matter. If you have
already cast your vote, please disregard this letter and accept our sincere
thanks.
Sincerely,
/s/ George R. Mateyo
George R. Mateyo
President and Chief Executive Officer
