Dear Shareholder:
We have made several attempts to contact you, both through the mail and over the
phone, to ask you to vote your shares held in the Lexington GNMA Income Fund as
of May 23, 2000. Voting your shares is critical to the outcome of this
Shareholder Meeting. At the initial Shareholder Meeting held on July 21, 2000,
an insufficient amount of votes were received on the proposed Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation, and the meeting was adjourned for that
proposal. We have made considerable progress in the vote response since the
initial Meeting, but we are going to need your help in order to meet the
regulatory requirement of two-thirds of the outstanding shares voting in favor
of the proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (listed as
Proposal 9 in the proxy statement). The meeting has been adjourned for this
proposal to September 20th.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO APPROVE THE FUND'S AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION?
The Fund's Articles of Incorporation differ from the Articles of Incorporation
of the other Lexington Funds. In an attempt to ensure that your Fund is able to
take advantage of all operational opportunities currently provided under
Maryland law, and more importantly, to ensure consistency amongst all Funds, the
Board of Directors determined that it is in the best interest of your Fund to
amend and restate the Fund's Articles of Incorporation.
AGAIN, WE URGE YOU TO REVIEW THE ENCLOSED PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTE YOUR SHARES
UTILIZING ONE OF THE CONVENIENT METHODS. BY VOTING YOUR SHARES, YOU WILL HELP US
ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL EXPENSES INCURRED FROM FURTHER
SOLICITATION EFFORTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE MEETING OR THE
EXECUTION OF YOUR PROXY, PLEASE CALL SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS AT
1-800-649-2671.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. PLEASE VOTE TODAY!
For your convenience, we have established four easy methods for you to vote:

control number found on your proxy card.
