Dear [FirstName],

This letter is to inform you that on March 14, 2001 there will be two special meetings of the shareholders of all funds within the Variable Insurance Products Fund (VIP) and Variable Insurance Products Fund II (VIP II). The funds in VIP include Money Market Portfolio, High Income Portfolio, Equity-Income Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, and Overseas Portfolio. The funds in VIP II include Index 500 Portfolio, Investment Grade Bond Portfolio, Asset Manager ® Portfolio, Asset Manager: Growth ® Portfolio, and Contrafund Portfolio. The purpose of this meeting is to consider and act upon several proposals. These proposals include to continue the effectiveness of Article VIII, Section 4 of the Declaration of Trust, the adoption of an amended and restated Declaration of Trust, the election of a Board of Trustees, the ratification of independent accountants, amendment to management contracts for certain funds in VIP, amendments to foreign sub-advisory agreements, and modification to certain fundamental investment limitations.

The Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed all of the proposals summarized above. The Board of Trustees is responsible for protecting your interests as shareholders and believes these proposals are in the best interest of the shareholders. They recommend that you vote for each proposal. Each of the proposals is described in greater detail in each Proxy Statement.

Prior to the meeting, a proxy of contract holders of record at the close of business on January 16, 2001 will be required. Although the funds will incur the costs of the printing and mailing of the proxy statements in addition to the tabulation of contract holder votes, your company will still need to be actively involved in the process. Please refer to your participation agreement for questions regarding your company's responsibilities.

We encourage you to utilize the services of Management Information Services Corporation (MIS) in Norwell, Massachusetts to handle the distribution of the proxy materials to, and the tabulation of votes from, your contract holders. MIS has been a Fidelity Investments mutual fund proxy solicitor since 1985 and is the nation's leading mailer and tabulator of variable product proxies as well. MIS is very knowledgeable in all areas of annuity proxy solicitation and will provide a turnkey service including all of the proportional voting of your separate account share positions to Fidelity.

We know that many of the insurance companies which have separate accounts invested in VIP and VIP II already have existing business relationships with MIS. If you currently use MIS to manage your proxies, please call Stephanie Camerlengo at 781-871-1660, ext. 143 at your earliest convenience to discuss the specifics of your portion of the VIP or VIP II proxy.

If you are not familiar with MIS, Stephanie will be pleased to provide you with a complete outline of their services and a cost estimate based on your needs. You will find MIS particularly helpful in assisting your data processing people with organizing and submitting your contract holder data in the proper format. Moreover, their ability to systematically prepare all of your proportional voting summaries will save you considerable time and effort. Should you have any qualms about sending your files to an outside service, MIS will prepare and sign a confidentiality agreement for your records.

Hopefully, you will consider using MIS for this process, however, if you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me (CAM PHONE.)

Sincerely,

CAM
