PLEASE VOTE BY OCTOBER 20

Dear Shareholder:

Recently we sent you a package of information, including a proxy statement and voting card(s), relating to our upcoming Shareholder Meeting on October 21, 2008. The Capital One Funds’ records indicated that we have not received your important vote.

EVERY VOTE COUNTS!

Your vote is important no matter how many shares you own. By voting now, you can help avoid the inconvenience and additional costs associated with follow-up mailings and telephone calls. We urge you to vote your proxy as soon as possible.

The Board of Trustees has unanimously recommended a vote “FOR” the proposals detailed in your proxy statement.

If you have any questions or you would like the assistance of a professional voting specialist to cast your vote, please call the Funds’ proxy solicitor, Broadridge, at 866-615-7262.

For your convenience, you may also use one of the following methods for casting your vote:
