Dear Oppenheimer Bond Fund Shareholder,
We have scheduled a shareholder meeting on March 16, 2001 for you to
decide upon some important proposals for the Fund. Your ballot card and a
detailed statement of the issues are enclosed with this letter.
Your Board of Trustees believes the matters being proposed for approval
are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and recommends a
vote for the election of Trustees and for each Proposal. Regardless of the
number of shares you own, it is important that your shares be represented and
voted. So we urge you to consider these issues carefully and make your vote
count.
How do you vote?
To cast your vote, simply mark, sign and date the enclosed proxy ballot
and return it in the postage-paid envelope today. You also may vote
telephonically by calling the toll-free number on the proxy ballot. Using a
touch-tone telephone to cast your vote saves you time and helps reduce the
Fund"s expenses. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to mail the proxy
ballot.
Remember, it can be expensive for the Fund--and ultimately for you as a
shareholder--to remail ballots if not enough responses are received to
conduct the meeting. If you do not vote after a reasonable amount of time,
you may receive a telephone call from a proxy solicitation firm asking you to
vote.
What are the issues?
o Election of Trustees. You are being asked to consider and approve the
election of twelve Trustees. You will find detailed information on the
Trustees in the enclosed proxy statement.
o Ratification of Auditors. The Board is asking you to ratify the
selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent certified public
accountants and auditors of the Fund for the current fiscal year.
o Approval to Amend One Fundamental Investment Restriction. Your
approval is requested to amend one fundamental investment restriction of
the Fund.
o Approval of Elimination of Certain Fundamental Investment
Restrictions. Your approval is requested to eliminate certain fundamental
investment restrictions of the Fund.
o Approval of Amendments to Certain Fundamental Investment Restrictions.
Your approval is requested to amend certain fundamental investment
restrictions of the Fund.
o Authorize the Trustees to adopt an amended and restated Declaration of
Trust.
Please read the enclosed proxy statement for complete details on these
proposals. Of course, if you have any questions, please contact your
financial advisor, or call us at 1-800-525-7048. As always, we appreciate
your confidence in OppenheimerFunds and look forward to serving you for many
years to come.
Sincerely,
Bridget A. Macaskill's signature
