Dear Fellow France Growth Fund Shareholder:

If you are reading this, you already know that I intend to
nominate three persons including myself for election as directors
of the Fund at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  If we
are elected, our primary objective will be to persuade the other
directors of the Fund to afford all shareholders an opportunity
to realize NAV as soon as possible.

In an effort to keep our soliciting costs down, we delivered
a proxy statement and proxy card only to shareholders owning
3,000 shares or more in street name.  Thus, if you own fewer than
3,000 shares, you will not receive our GREEN proxy card.
However, if you would like us to vote your shares in our
discretion at the Annual Meeting on June 18, 2002, you may do so
by contacting your brokerage firm (or bank) and requesting that
it issue a "Legal Proxy" covering your shares directly to me at
the above address.  Any such "Legal Proxy" should be delivered
(or faxed) to me before June 18, 2002.

If you have any questions about how to have a legal proxy
issued for your shares, please call me at (914) 747-5262 or e-
mail me at OPLP@att.net

Yours truly,



Phillip Goldstein
