VOTE YOUR AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTMENTS PROXY TODAY!!!

Recently,  you were sent information from American Century Investments regarding
their ongoing proxy  initiative.  Your company's plan currently  includes one or
more American  Century funds.  As the plan sponsor for your company's plan, it's
your right to vote on any proxy that comes from an  investment  company in which
your  company's  employees have money  invested.  You are encouraged to exercise
that right and vote to help determine the outcome of the proposals. The meetings
originally  scheduled for June 27, 2007, were adjourned to July 27, 2007, due to
insufficient   voting.   Please  vote  today  to  avoid  further  reminders  and
communications. Your vote is appreciated.

It's important for you to know that two different  independent  bodies recommend
that shareholders vote in favor of the resolutions listed in the proxies --

1.   INSTITUTIONAL  SHAREHOLDER SERVICES (ISS) -- ISS is a company that provides
     in-depth,   objective   proxy   research  and  provides   informed   voting
     recommendations  to  shareholders.  Their  mission is to help  shareholders
     manage  risk  and  drive  value.   They  have  publicly   recommended  that
     shareholders vote in favor of these proposals.

2.   THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES -- The Board,  which includes all of the  independent
     trustees,  also  unanimously  recommends  that  shareholders  vote  for the
     proposals. Keep in mind that these independent members of the Board are not
     employees of American  Century  Investments,  and it's their job to oversee
     the  funds  on  behalf  of the  SHAREHOLDERS.  They  are the  shareholders'
     advocate and have  determined that these proposals are in the best interest
     of shareholders.

The  easiest  and  quickest  way to vote is on-line or by phone.  To vote on the
internet,  go to  www.proxyweb.com.  You  will  need  your  proxy  card  control
number(s)  from the  information  mailed to you to utilize the web site.  If you
don't have access to that or prefer to call, phone toll-free at 877-256-6083 and
a proxy service representative will assist you.
