PROXY LITE MESSAGE
"Hello. This is Paula Meyer, President of RiverSource Funds, formerly American
Express Funds.
I am calling you because you are a shareholder of a RiverSource Fund.
In December, you were sent one or more proxy statements concerning various
RiverSource Fund proposals, including the approval of investment management
agreements. The purpose of my call today is to encourage you to vote. Your vote
is very important to us.
Shareholders may vote in one of four ways: by mail, by telephone, by website or
by attending a shareholder meeting on Wednesday February 15, 2006. Please refer
to your proxy statement for more detailed voting instructions including the
control number you will need to vote, the phone number to vote, the web address
for voting and where to call if you have additional questions. You may also vote
by mailing the card enclosed in the proxy statement.
If you have questions or are unable to find your proxy statement and would like
to receive a new copy, please call the RiverSource Funds Proxy Client Service
Center at 1-877-256-6085.
Thank you for investing with RiverSource Funds.
Goodbye."
