INFORMATION ON PROPOSED CHANGES FOR

Dear Valued Financial Consultant:

Your  clients who own shares in  Oppenheimer  Florida  Municipal  Fund are now
receiving a proxy  mailing  regarding  proposed  changes to that Fund.  We are
writing in an effort to help you better  answer  any  questions  they may have
about this mailing.

OppenheimerFunds  is  seeking  to  change  the  investment  objective  of  its
Oppenheimer  Florida Municipal Fund. Under the current  investment  objective,
the Fund seeks as high a level of current  interest income exempt from federal
income  taxes,  for  individual  investors,  as is  available  from  municipal
securities,  consistent with  preservation of capital.  The Fund also seeks to
offer  investors  the  opportunity  to own Fund  shares  exempt  from  Florida
Personal  Property Taxes.  Developments in the Florida  Personal  Property Tax
structure have prompted  OppenheimerFunds  to offer the Fund's  shareholders a
fresh  approach  to  municipal  bond  fund   investing.   Under  the  proposed
investment  objective,  the Fund would seek high  current  income  exempt from
federal income taxes for  individual  investors as is available from investing
in a diversified  portfolio of high-yield municipal  securities.  Shareholders
are  being  asked to vote on the  proposed  change at the  Fund's  shareholder
meeting on September 11, 2001.

If the proposed  change is approved by shareholders  Ronald H. Fielding,  CFA,
Senior Vice  President of  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.,  would serve as the Fund's
Portfolio  Manager and Chief Strategist.  Anthony A. Tanner,  CFA, would serve
as  Assistant  Portfolio  Manager.  Both  Mr.  Fielding  and Mr.  Tanner  have
extensive  experience with  high-yield  municipal  securities,1  and currently
manage  three  other   Oppenheimer   municipal  bond  funds:   Rochester  Fund
Municipals,  Limited Term New York Municipal Fund and Oppenheimer Pennsylvania
Municipal Fund.

Investing  in  high-yield   municipal   securities   can  involve   investment
experience and strategies not generally applied by the investing  community as
a whole.  Some  examples are  included in the enclosed  materials on the Funds
currently  managed by Messr's Fielding and Tanner.  In particular,  the CD-ROM
contains more in-depth  information  on strategies  and  approaches  developed
over many years of municipal bond investing.


We believe  strongly in providing  the  financial  professionals  who sell our
Funds with all the information  they need to answer their clients'  questions.
And we hope that you'll find this  information  helpful if your  clients  have
inquiries  regarding the proposed changes to the Oppenheimer Florida Municipal
Fund.

If you'd like  additional  information,  we're here to help. Give us a call in
Rochester at  800-955-3863  to learn more about our approach to municipal bond
fund management.  Or speak with any of your  OppenheimerFunds  representatives
(OppenheimerFunds  Financial  Advisor  Representative  at  800-255-2750,  your
Brokerage Firm  Representative  at 800-848-3487 or, for Financial  Institution
Sales, 800-255-2770).

We look forward to hearing from you!



Very truly yours,

/S/ H.C. Digby Clements
