Dear Stockholder:

An annual meeting (the "Meeting") of the stockholders of each of the funds
listed above (the "Funds") is scheduled for July 10, 2000. Our records
indicate that on May 12, 2000, the record date for the Meeting, you were a
stockholder of one or more of the Funds. However, due to a processing error,
the proxy card or voting instruction form ("voting form") you received in the
package of proxy materials originally mailed to you was incorrect. You should
have received a separate voting form for each of your accounts rather than a
single form covering all your accounts or including accounts not registered in
your name. Enclosed, please find corrected voting forms for each of your
accounts. If you have already sent in the voting form you first received, your
vote will only cover shares held in the first account listed on the form.
Please use the enclosed form(s) to vote the shares held in other account(s)
registered in your name or to resubmit your vote for all of your accounts. If
you have not yet voted, please use the enclosed voting form(s) to vote your
shares. You still have time to vote at the meeting and your vote is very
important to us. We expect that the Meeting will be adjourned in order to
provide all stockholders with additional time to vote their shares.

For your convenience, we have established three easy methods by which to
register your vote. Please see the enclosed voting form(s) for a description
of the methods you can use to vote your shares.

If you have any questions regarding the Meeting agenda or the execution of
your proxy, please call Shareholder Communications Corporation at
1-800-371-9115. We very much regret this error and any inconvenience it may
have caused you. Thank you for your prompt attention.
