Dear Mr. Kemper:

On or about December 10, 2008 we sent you a notice of our intent to nominate
directors at the 2009 annual meeting.  We asked you to notify us as soon as
possible if you wanted any further information or if you believed there were
any deficiencies in our advance notice letter. Since we have not had a
response we assume you are satisfied.

We ask that you provide us with written assurance that we will be permitted
to vote our proxies as directed and that they will be counted so that last
years wasteful failure to achieve a quorum can be avoided this year.
Thank you.

Very truly yours,


Phillip Goldstein
President
