Dear USLIFE Income Fund Shareholder:

     We recently sent you a proxy statement, together with a BLUE proxy card,
for our 1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The meeting is scheduled to be
held on December 3, 1999.

     As of the current date, we have not yet received your signed BLUE proxy
card.

     In case your original BLUE proxy card was misplaced, a duplicate proxy
card is enclosed for your convenience. We ask you to sign and date the BLUE
proxy card, and to return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
It is very important that your shares be represented at the meeting.

     Thank you for your prompt attention. If you have any questions or need
assistance in voting your shares, please call our proxy solicitor, Georgeson
Shareholder Communications Inc., toll free at 1-800-223-2064.
