Introduction
HELLO, MR./MS. (SHAREHOLDER). MY NAME IS ___________. I AM CALLING ON

SENT YOU REGARDING THE ______ (FIVE OPTIONS HERE: Fidelity Advisor Equity
Growth Fund, Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap Fund, Fidelity Advisor Large Cap
Fund, Fidelity Advisor Technoquant Growth Fund, Fidelity Advisor Growth &
Income Fund). I'M ASSISTING FIDELITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROXY VOTE TO
APPROVE SEVERAL IMPORTANT PROPOSALS THAT AFFECT THE FUND AND YOUR
INVESTMENT IN IT. THE LETTER YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED ASKS YOU TO
RECONSIDER YOUR VOTE ON ONE OF THE PROXY PROPOSALS, PROPOSAL #6.
RECENTLY YOU VOTED ON SEVERAL MATTERS AFFECTING YOUR FIDELITY FUND(S),
INCLUDING A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAWS OF ADVISOR SERIES I (PROPOSAL
#6), THE TRUST FOR YOUR FUND(S). THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL ALLOW THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO APPROVE ANY CHANGES TO THE BYLAWS OF THE TRUST WITHOUT
SEEKING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS COMPOSED OF A
MAJORITY OF TRUSTEES WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH FIDELITY. IF YOU VOTED NO
OR ABSTAINED FROM VOTING ON PROPOSAL #6 WE'D LIKE TO ASK YOU TO REEVALUATE
YOUR DECISION IN LIGHT OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.
1. THE PROPOSED BYLAWS ARE FIDELITY STANDARD BYLAWS THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED
BY ALMOST EVERY OTHER FIDELITY TRUST.
2. IN FMR'S JUDGEMENT, THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL NOT HAVE A MATERIAL
IMPACT ON THE OPERATION OF YOUR FUND(S).
3. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR, AND THE RESULTING
EXPENSE OF, HOLDING FUTURE SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS.
4. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY YOUR BOARD OF
TRUSTEES.
IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF YOUR FUND(S) TO BE ABLE TO ADAPT QUICKLY TO
CHANGING CONDITIONS
WITHOUT DELAY AND AT THE LEAST POSSIBLE COST TO THE FUND(S). I HOPE THAT
YOU WILL JOIN MANY OF YOUR FELLOW FIDELITY ADVISOR FUND SHAREHOLDERS AND
VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL.

THEIR NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND THE BEST TIME TO CALL.. (End call.)
