We are writing to inform you that the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!
Shareholders are being asked to elect ten Trustees and to ratify the selection
of Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditors for 2005. In addition, shareholders of each

or eliminate certain fundamental investment restrictions. After careful review,
the Board of Trustees has unanimously recommended that shareholders vote to
approve the proposals applicable to them. We urge you to act promptly in order
to allow us to obtain a sufficient number of votes, avoid the cost of additional
