                                IMPORTANT NOTICE

                    MORGAN STANLEY EASTERN EUROPE FUND, INC.
           ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS ADJOURNED TO AUGUST 1, 2007


The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") of Morgan Stanley Eastern
Europe Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was held on June 19, 2007 with Directors of the
Fund being elected. The Meeting was adjourned to August 1, 2007 to solicit
additional votes in connection with the proposal to amend the Fund's investment
restrictions as outlined in the Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders
previously mailed to you. The adjourned meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. on
August 1, 2007 at the offices of Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc., 522
Fifth Avenue, Board Room - 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10036.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT AND YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE FUND DOES
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

With regard to the investment restriction proposal, the Board of Directors of
the Fund has approved an amendment to the Fund's investment restrictions to
allow the fund to invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of
companies involved in the oil, gas and consumable fuels industry, diversified
telecommunications industry, wireless communications industry, commercial banks
industry, metals and mining industry or electric utilities industry in Eastern
European countries if the Board of Directors of the Fund determines that certain
criteria are met. This change would expand the types of industries in which the
Fund may currently concentrate: energy sources industry, the electric utilities
industry and the telecommunications industry. Pursuant to the Fund's current
investment concentration restriction, the Fund is currently concentrated in the
electric utility industry. The Fund is not currently concentrated in any of the
proposed industries. By being able to concentrate in the proposed industries,
the Fund will have the ability to obtain greater exposure to certain types of
securities than was previously the case.

After careful consideration, the Board of Directors of the Fund recommends
that you vote "FOR" the approval of the amendment to the Fund's investment
restrictions.

Please join many of your fellow stockholders and cast your vote. To cast your
vote, simply complete the enclosed proxy card and return it in the postage paid
envelope provided. For your convenience, you may cast your vote via internet or
by telephone. Instructions for casting your vote via the internet or telephone
are printed on the enclosed proxy ballot. Additionally, the required control
number for either of these methods is printed on the proxy card. If you choose
to cast your vote via the internet or telephone, there is no need to mail the
card.

We appreciate your careful and prompt consideration of this matter.
