Dear Shareholder: Several weeks ago, we mailed you proxy information so that you could vote on important proposals that affect your fund. This information described the proposals and asked for your vote on these important issues. It has been called to our attention that we have not yet received your ballot. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW LARGE OR SMALL YOUR HOLDINGS MAY BE. I am writing to remind you that your participation is extremely important. The shareholder meeting cannot be held until we receive a majority of the votes. If you haven't done so already, please cast your vote on the enclosed proxy card. Shareholders who hold the fund in more than one account will receive one card for each account and should vote each card. VOTING IS QUICK AND EASY. EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS ENCLOSED.
