September 18, 2006 Dear Account Manager: A few days ago, a priority package was mailed to you that contained proxy materials for client accounts that you have the authorization to vote proxies on their behalf. 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. The proxy materials were grouped and the applicable proxy statement(s) were included in the package 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 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 vote all client positions for which you act as account manager and are authorized to vote client proxies. Should you desire to vote individually on proposals or 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 would like to point your attention to the package of materials previously mailed to you and request that you give this matter your immediate attention. Your prompt response is greatly appreciated and will help us to eliminate the need for additional mailings and telephone solicitation. Sincerely, Morgan Stanley Investment Management
