Lord Abbett Global Income Fund Script
Greeting:
Hello, is Mr./Ms. available please?
Hi Mr./Ms. , my name is and I am calling from ADP on a recorded line on behalf of Lord Abbett Global Income Fund. Recently you were mailed proxy materials for the upcoming meeting of Shareholders scheduled for May 21, 2007. Have you received this material?
If Received:
Your Board Members are asking you to consider the proposal that they have studied carefully and they recommend that you vote in favor of the proposal. For your convenience, may I take your vote over the phone?
If not interested:
If you are not interested in having your vote taken live over the phone, you can also vote by touch tone phone, by the internet, by mail or in person at the shareholder meeting.
If Unsure of How They Want to Vote:
Would you like me to review the proposal(s) with you?
If Not Received:
Would you like me to email or re-mail the proxy material to you? (If yes, verify entire email or mailing address, including street name, number, town, state & zip and read it back to the shareholder)
Thank you. After you have received and reviewed the materials, please call us back at the toll free number provided in the statement so that we can answer any questions you may have and also record your vote. You can also vote by touch tone phone, by the internet, by mail or in person at the shareholder meeting.

I understand Mr./Ms. , however you were a shareholder on the record date, which was February 27, 2007 and therefore you are still entitled to vote your shares. Would you have any objections to voting along with the recommendations of your Board?
IF YES:
The process will only take a few moments.
