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
