REMINDER NOTICE:
YOUR PROXY VOTE IS REQUIRED
FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
MONDAY, MAY 21, 2001
Dear Shareholder:
We are writing to remind you that the Special Meeting of Shareholders is
scheduled for Monday, May 21, 2001, and we have not yet received your vote. In
order for the Funds to formally conduct the business of the meeting with
respect to a Fund, we must receive voting instructions from at least 33% of the
outstanding shares of that Fund, making it critical that all shareholders
participate. Equally as important, in order to pass proposals two through six,
the Funds require voting instructions from more than 50% of the outstanding
shares. The Funds' records indicate that as of March 13, 2001 (Record Date for
the meeting), you held shares in the Funds and have not yet issued a vote on
the matters put forth. Please take the time to cast your vote now so that we
will obtain a sufficient number of votes to hold the meeting.
Please vote your shares in order to meet the requisite amount of votes needed
to close this shareholder meeting. If you should have any questions regarding
the meeting agenda or the execution of your proxy, please contact a Shareholder
Services Representative at (800) 223-7010, Monday - Friday, 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM
ET.
For your convenience, we have established four easy methods to register your
vote:
By Phone: For automated phone voting available 24 hours a day, call (800)
597-7836. Enter the 14-digit control number located on your
proxy card and follow the recorded instructions.

onscreen instructions.
By Mail: Simply return your executed proxy in the enclosed postage paid
envelope.
By Fax: Vote and sign your proxy card then fax toll free to (888)

DON'T HESITATE - PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY!
As we move closer to the date of the special meeting, if we still have not
received your proxy, you may receive a call reminding you to exercise your
right to vote. Taking the time to vote now will help reduce additional fund
expenses.
Thank you in advance for your participation.
Sincerely,
Citizens Funds
