Dear Shareholder:

On behalf of your Fund, Tritech Services as solicitation agent
has previously forwarded to you proxy material relating to the
Meeting of Shareholders of your Fund scheduled to be held on May
5, 1994.  The meeting is growing close and we have not as yet
received your executed proxy so that your shares can be voted at
the meeting.

We need your assistance and that of your fellow shareholders to
help us reduce additional solicitation expenses by providing us
with your voting instructions as soon as possible.  If we do not
receive the votes required, your Fund may have to adjourn the
meeting and incur the expense of additional follow-up mailings.

To ensure your vote will be received in time for the meeting, we
have arranged to have your vote recorded by telephone.  The
voting procedure is simple and described below; it is designed to
authenticate your identity and to confirm that your votes have
been taken in accordance with your instructions.  If these
procedures were subject to successful legal challenges, such
votes would not be counted at the meeting.  The Fund has not
sought to obtain an opinion of counsel on this matter and we are
unaware of any such challenge at this time.  To ensure your vote
is recorded correctly, when your voting instructions are received
the operator will ask for your telephone number in order to call
you back and confirm your vote.  You will also receive in the
mail a confirmation of your vote for your files.  A special toll-
free number will be available in case the information contained
in the confirmation is incorrect.  If you decide after you have
voted that you will attend the meeting in person, you can revoke
your proxy at that time and vote your shares at the meeting.  If
you do not have a copy of your proxy statement, you can call us
at (908) 878-6434 and a copy will be promptly forwarded to you.

Please take a few minutes to vote your shares today.
