Important Notice
The Indonesia Fund Inc.
December 29, 2000
================================================================================
"The Special Meeting of Shareholders has been adjourned
to Thursday, January 18, 2001"
Dear Shareholder,
We are writing to inform you that the Special Meeting of Shareholders of The
Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") originally scheduled for Thursday, December
28, 2000 has been adjourned to 2:00 pm Thursday, January 18, 2001. The reason
for this adjournment is to give shareholders additional time to vote their
shares for the proposed merger of the Jakarta Growth Fund, Inc. with and into
the Fund. In order for this reorganization to be approved, the Fund's Articles
of Incorporation and By-laws require that 662/3% of the Fund's shares vote in
favor of the transaction, making it critical that all shareholders participate.
As mentioned above, the only proposal to be voted on at the January 18, 2001
meeting is the merger proposal. The Board of Directors believes that, absent
this combination, the Fund's asset level may well fall significantly below the
New York Stock Exchange's (the "NYSE's") continued listing standards and, as a
result, the Fund would be delisted from the NYSE. The Board of Directors further
believes that combining the two funds will benefit shareholders by providing the
potential for:
>> economies of scale,
>> greater investment flexibility, and
>> a lower operating expense ratio.
The proposed merger and investment policies of the Funds are described in more
detail in the combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which was mailed to
shareholders on or about November 27, 2000.
Please note, if you sold your shares after the record date of October 16, 2000,
you are still holding the voting rights. WE URGE YOU TO SIGN AND DATE THE
ENCLOSED PROXY CARD(S) AND RETURN THE CARD(S) IN THE ENCLOSED ADDRESSED ENVELOPE
WHICH REQUIRES NO POSTAGE AND IS INTENDED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE.
Please vote your shares utilizing any of the convenient methods listed below:
1. By Internet: Go to www.proxyvote.com and enter the 12-digit control number
found on your proxy card.
2. By Phone: Call 1-800-634-9899. Representatives are available to take your
vote Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. and Saturday noon to
6 p.m. eastern time. From outside the U.S., please call collect
212-806-8564.
3. By Mail: Complete the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed
postage-paid envelope.
If we do not receive your proxy by one of the above methods, you may receive a
call from Shareholder Communications Corporation, our proxy agent, requesting
you to vote your shares for the adjourned meeting.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Michael Pignataro
Chief Financial Officer and Secretary
