URGENT PROXY INFORMATION...
PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE NOW!
URGENT REMINDER! THE SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING FOR YOUR FUND SCHEDULED FOR
JANUARY 13, 1999 IS IN DANGER OF BEING ADJOURNED DUE TO LACK OF VOTER
PARTICIPATION!
Dear Shareholder:
Several weeks ago, we mailed you proxy information so that you could vote on
important proposals that affect your fund. This information described the
proposals and asked for your vote on these important issues. It has been called
to our attention that we have not yet received your ballot.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW LARGE OR SMALL YOUR HOLDINGS MAY BE.
The shareholder meeting cannot be held until we receive a majority of the votes.
If you have not done so already, please cast your vote today.
