DFAN14A 1 mxfadvnotice.txt November 24, 2000 The Mexico Fund, Inc. 1775 Eye Street Washington, D.C. 20006-2401 Attention: Samuel Garcia Cuellar, Secretary Dear Mr. Cuellar: We hereby give notice that at the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders of The Mexico Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), we intend to (1) propose that the stockholders vote to recommend to the board of directors that the Fund be converted to an open-end fund, and (2) nominate the three persons named below to serve as Class II directors of the Fund. Please advise us immediately if a different number of vacancies are to be filled at the meeting or if there are any deficiencies with respect to this notice. The reason for proposing that the Fund open-end is that open- ending would eliminate the persistent discount to net asset value at which its shares have been trading. If the open-ending proposal is approved, our nominees are committed to implementing it.
