NOTICE OF RECONVENED ANNUAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
------------------------
To Our Stockholders:
Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meetings of Stockholders of the
Funds listed above (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") will be
reconvened on Tuesday, August 1, 2000, at the offices of Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter Investment Management Inc., 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 22nd Floor, New
York, New York 10020.
The Annual Meetings of Stockholders of the Funds held on June 15, 2000 were
adjourned with respect to PROPOSAL NO. 2, the selection of independent
accountants for the Funds. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has informed the Funds
that they will not be available to serve as independent public accountants for
each Fund. As a result, the Funds proposed the adjournment of each Meeting until
August 1, 2000 with respect to the selection of independent accountants for the
Fund, in order to allow the stockholders additional time to consider the matter.
The Meetings were then adjourned to be reconvened on August 1, 2000 (the
"Reconvened Meetings") with respect to the selection of independent accountants
for the Funds.
At a meeting held on June 15, 2000, after reviewing materials and
considering the available options, the Boards of Directors of the Funds,
including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons" of each
Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, selected Ernst & Young
LLP as independent accountants for each Fund for the fiscal year ending December
31, 2000 (October 31, 2000 for The Turkish Investment Fund, Inc.), subject to
stockholder ratification. The ratification of the selection of independent
accountants is to be voted on at the Reconvened Meetings, and it is intended
that the persons named in the accompanying Proxy will vote for ratification of
Ernst & Young LLP's appointment. Ernst & Young LLP acts as the independent
accountants for certain of the other investment companies advised by MSDW
Investment Management. Although it is not expected that a representative of
Ernst & Young LLP will attend the Reconvened Meetings, a representative will be
available by telephone to respond to stockholder questions, if any.
Each Board's policy regarding engaging independent accountants' services is
that management may engage each Fund's principal independent accountants to
perform any services normally provided by independent accounting firms, provided
that such services meet any and all of the independence requirements of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Independent Standards
Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with this
policy, each Fund's Audit Committee reviews and approves all services provided
by the independent accountants prior to their being rendered. Each Fund's Audit
Committee receives a report from the Fund's independent public accountants
relating to all services that have been performed by the Funds' independent
accountants for the Fund and its Manager and affiliates of the Manager.
<PAGE> 3
The ratification of the selection of independent accountants requires the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum
is present. For this purpose, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted
in determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting, but will not be
counted as votes cast at the Meetings.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EACH FUND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS
PROPOSAL NO. 2.
The Reconvened Annual Meetings of Stockholders of the Funds will commence
on August 1, 2000 at the following times (New York time):
