      The AllianceBernstein Funds have contacted you multiple times regarding
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") adjourned and rescheduled for
January 5, 2011, requesting your vote on proposals for several of the
AllianceBernstein Funds. As of today, December 16, 2010 we have not received
enough shares to pass these important proposals.

      After repeated attempts, we have not yet received your vote. Shareholder
action is required to approve the proposals for the Funds.

      On behalf of the AllianceBernstein Funds, please accept my thanks for your
participation in this important matter.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   Robert M. Keith
