We would be pleased to discuss these matters with a representative of the Fund with the goal of avoiding a proxy contest. Please let me know if that can be arranged by emailing me at pgoldstein@bulldoginvestors.com or by telephoning me at (914) 260-8248. Thank you. Very truly yours, /S/Phillip Goldstein Phillip Goldstein Managing Partner
