      Re:   Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust
            Reg. No.33-20191; File No. 811-5473

To the Securities and Exchange Commission:

      An electronic  filing was made under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933
Act")  and the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940 (the  "1940  Act") on behalf of
Oppenheimer  Multi-Sector  Income  Trust,  (the  "Fund") on  February  27,  1998
(accession  number  0000829801-98-000002).  The filing  consisted  of  documents
comprising  Post-Effective  Amendment No. 13 to the Fund's 1933 Act Registration
Statement on Form N-2 (the "Amendment").

      This  filing was  incorrectly  filed  under From N-2 and should  have been
filed under Form POSAMI.  We hereby  respectively  request  that the  Commission
change the form type on that filing from Form N-2 to Form POSAMI.

      If you have any questions regarding this filing, please do not hesitate to
give me a call.

                                Sincerely yours,


                                /s/ Kathleen Ives
