[LETTERHEAD]
June 22, 1998
Dear Shareholder:
YOUR FUND NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Ive enclosed another copy of the proxy material mailed to you several
weeks ago requesting your vote on a number of issues very important to your
Fund. Unfortunately, the meeting, initially scheduled for May 28, 1998, had
to be adjourned to June 11, 1998 as there were not enough responses to the
proxy request to constitute a quorum.
On June 11, 1998 the Fund had to adjourn the meeting a second time, as
again, a quorum was not present. THE NEXT ADJOURNED MEETING DATE IS JULY 23,
1998, AT 8:30 A.M. CENTRAL TIME.
If you have any questions regarding the enclosed proxy material, or any
of the issues on the Proxy Ballot, please feel free to call Teresa Axelson,
Vice President and Secretary of the Fund at (800) 526-8346 extension 225.
PLEASE HELP YOUR FUND BY TAKING A FEW MOMENTS TO --
SIGN THE PROXY BALLOT(S) EXACTLY AS YOUR NAME(S) APPEARS ON THE LABEL AND
RETURN THE COMPLETED PROXY BALLOT(S) IN THE ENVELOPE PROVIDED.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Michael W. McCroskey
