URGENT PROXY INFORMATION...
PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE NOW!
Dear Shareholder:
THE SCHEDULED SEPTEMBER 17TH SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING IS IN DANGER OF BEING
ADJOURNED DUE TO LACK OF VOTING PARTICIPATION.
Several weeks ago we mailed you a letter reminding you to vote on these
important proposals that affect your fund. To date, we have not received
your ballot.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!
To facilitate receiving your voted proxy as quickly as possible, we have
instructed our independent proxy tabulator to forward the enclosed proxy
material to you by overnight delivery. The attached Federal Express
envelope addressed to the proxy tabulator has been provided to speed the
return of your signed proxy. To use this return envelope, simply call
Federal Express at 1-800-238-5355. Federal will pick up the envelope at
your location. There is no charge to you for sending the overnight
package.
To cast your ballot, simply record your vote on the enclosed proxy card.
You can mail your signed proxy card in the Federal Express envelope
provided, or fax both the FRONT and BACK of your signed proxy card to
1-888-451-8683. Be sure to sign the card before mailing it in the envelope
provided, or faxing it to the number above. You also have the option of
voting your shares by calling toll-free at 1-800-848-3155.
REMEMBER, VOTING IS QUICK AND EASY. EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS ENCLOSED.
Please accept our thanks in advance for your cooperation and prompt
attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
