      The AllianceBernstein Funds or your Plan Administrator have contacted you
multiple times regarding the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting")
scheduled for December 16, 2010 requesting your vote on proposals for several of
the AllianceBernstein Funds. As of today, December 3, 2010, we have not received
enough shares to pass these important proposals. As a result we may need to
adjourn the meeting for a second time to a later date.

      After repeated attempts, we have not yet received your vote. Shareholder
action is required to approve the proposals for the Funds.

      On behalf of the Board of Directors of the AllianceBernstein Funds, please
accept my thanks for your participation in this important matter.


                                           Sincerely,


                                           Robert M. Keith
