I'M ASSISTING FIDELITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROXY VOTE TO APPROVE SEVERAL IMPORTANT PROPOSALS THAT AFFECT THE FUND AND YOUR INVESTMENT IN IT. THE LETTER YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED ASKS YOU TO RECONSIDER YOUR VOTE ON ONE OF THE PROXY PROPOSALS, PROPOSAL #6. RECENTLY YOU VOTED ON SEVERAL MATTERS AFFECTING YOUR FIDELITY FUND(S), INCLUDING A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAWS OF ADVISOR SERIES I (PROPOSAL #6), THE TRUST FOR YOUR FUND(S). THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL ALLOW THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO APPROVE ANY CHANGES TO THE BYLAWS OF THE TRUST WITHOUT SEEKING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS COMPOSED OF A MAJORITY OF TRUSTEES WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH FIDELITY. IF YOU VOTED NO OR ABSTAINED FROM VOTING ON PROPOSAL #6 WE'D LIKE TO ASK YOU TO REEVALUATE YOUR DECISION IN LIGHT OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION. 1. THE PROPOSED BYLAWS ARE FIDELITY STANDARD BYLAWS THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY ALMOST EVERY OTHER FIDELITY TRUST. 2. IN FMR'S JUDGEMENT, THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL NOT HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE OPERATION OF YOUR FUND(S). 3. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR, AND THE RESULTING EXPENSE OF, HOLDING FUTURE SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS. 4. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY YOUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES. IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF YOUR FUND(S) TO BE ABLE TO ADAPT QUICKLY TO CHANGING CONDITIONS WITHOUT DELAY AND AT THE LEAST POSSIBLE COST TO THE FUND(S). I HOPE THAT YOU WILL JOIN MANY OF YOUR FELLOW FIDELITY ADVISOR FUND SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL. If shareholder sounds hostile: Thank the shareholder for his/her time.
