From: mitch eggers [meggers@gmi-mr.com] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 4:32 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: RE: S7-10-03 I am a private investor in both individual stocks and mutual funds. I am so mad about the fraud and investor rip-offs orchestrated by the investment bankers, brokers, and accountants and I believe that much of this would not have occurred if Shareholders could more easily influence the choice of board members. The SEC should review and revise the proxy rules. They should be written to disclose conflicts of interest and protect the shareholders. Thanks, Mitch
