Dear Account Manager:
It has come to our attention that as account manager for certain of your
clients' accounts, you have the authorization to vote proxies on behalf of such
client accounts. The enclosed proxy cards represent unvoted client positions for
various Morgan Stanley Funds held by such client accounts.
At Special Meetings of Shareholders originally scheduled to be held on August 1,
2006, shareholders of the Morgan Stanley Funds were asked to approve the
election of Directors/Trustees and the modification of various fundamental
investment restrictions. For certain of these Funds, the meetings were adjourned
to August 23, 2006. Several of these meetings have been further adjourned to
September 27, 2006 in order to allow additional time to obtain the remaining
votes needed.
We have grouped the proxy cards and enclosed the applicable proxy statement(s)
for your review. If you choose to vote "FOR", "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN" for all
proposals with respect to each one of your clients' accounts, you may sign the
attachment to this letter and return it in the enclosed business reply envelope
or fax it to our proxy tabulator, Computershare Fund Services, at
1-631-233-6364. Upon receipt of the signed letter, our proxy tabulator will
record your vote with respect to all client positions for which you act as
account manager and are thus authorized to vote client proxies. Should you
desire to vote proposals differently with respect to any client account, you
must mark and sign each card individually.
Proxy materials were previously mailed to your the clients in connection with
these matters. As you have proxy voting authority over your clients' accounts,
no further mailings will be made to your clients nor will they be contacted by
telephone by our proxy solicitor.
We appreciate your attention to this matter.
Sincerely
Morgan Stanley Investment Management
As authorized proxy voting agent for certain of my clients' accounts, I hereby
appoint Ronald E. Robison, Barry Fink, and Stefanie Chang, and each of them, as
proxies for positions held by such client accounts, with full power of
substitution and resubstitution, and hereby authorize said proxies, and each of
them, to represent and vote, as indicated blow, all shares of the Morgan Stanley
Funds held of record by such client accounts at the Special Meeting, and any
adjournment thereof. The undersigned hereby revokes any and all proxies with
respect to such shares heretofore given by the undersigned or his clients.
[ ] To vote FOR all proposals, mark this box. If you mark this box, no other
vote is necessary.
Proposal (1): Election of Directors/Trustees
[ ] Vote FOR All Directors/Trustees
