Hi [Insert Client’s Name],

 

We have identified that your office has received a large number of Proxy Ballots for the current SEI Fund Proxy.  You have received them by either email or paper or a combination of both.  SEI would like to help you facilitate your response by offering a BULK Voting option. 

 

If you would like to participate in the BULK Vote, please reply to this email and attach your completed Bulk Voting Form. Also, please remember to include the spreadsheet with your response.

Your vote is important.  We are not advocating that you vote the shares over which you have voting authority for or against any particular proposal.  Your prompt response will enable the Funds to hold the shareholder meeting on time and save the expense of additional solicitation costs if not enough shareholders vote.
