Dear Shareholder:

A few weeks ago, you should have received proxy material relating to an important Special Meeting of Shareholders of Metropolitan West Funds to be held on March 31, 2010.

Our records indicate we still have not received your vote on the proposal presented for shareholder approval.

The Board of Trustees of Metropolitan West Funds has unanimously approved the proposal and recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the proposal. Participation in the voting process by all shareholders, large and small, is critical to allow each Metropolitan West Fund to act on the proposal and to avoid the possibility of an adjournment of the meeting. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of their Metropolitan West Fund and to avoid unnecessary communications with you as a shareholder.

PLEASE VOTE IMMEDIATELY.

We’ve provided three quick, easy ways to cast your vote:
