Second Request
Urgent Proxy Information...
Please case your vote now!
Dear Fidelity Advisor Funds Shareholder:
A few weeks ago, we mailed you proxy information so you could vote on important proposals that affect your fund(s). This information described each proposal and asked for your vote on all of the issues. During our last count, we found that we have not received your ballot.
I am writing to inform you that your participation is extremely important. The shareholder meeting cannot be held until we receive a majority of the votes. Your vote affects the quorum, and your prompt attention to this request will save the cost and inconvenience of further solicitations.
You are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of each of the funds on the record date. You may cast your vote for, against, or to abstain on the proposals by completing the enclosed proxy card and returning it in the envelope provided. This is an opportunity for you to voice your opinion on matters concerning your fund(s).It is important that you take part in the voting process no matter how many or how few shares you own.
To cast your ballot, simply record your vote on the enclosed proxy card. Be sure to sign the card before mailing it in the postage-paid envelope provided. You may also vote your shares over the telephone by calling toll-free (888) 221-0697.
Voting is quick and easy. Everything you need is enclosed.
If you have any questions, please call Fidelity at 1-800-522-7297. Thank you for your participation in this important initiative.
Sincerely,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
