Dear Shareholder:
You have likely already received a letter from us in regard to the Special Meeting of Shareholders of your Fund, which was scheduled to be held on June 14, 2006.

This adjournment will allow shareholders who have not yet voted to have an opportunity to cast their important vote. Our records indicate that you are among the shareholders who have not yet voted. We need your help.
Please take a moment now and vote your shares so that another adjournment will not be needed. This will save PowerShares and AMVESCAP additional expense and all shareholders will benefit from your participation.
