Re: your “Against” vote on the Business Proposal to convert to a self storage REIT
Dear Shareholder:
We enclose the Wall Street Journal article headlined “Storage REITs Enjoy a Boom” dated January 11, 2012. We distributed this article to you and your fellow shareholders two weeks ago; a number of shareholders subsequently switched their “Against” vote to “For”. Perhaps you would consider doing the same? The Fund needs your “For” vote, and every vote counts.
IT'S EASY TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE TO “FOR”: if you would like to change your “Against” vote to a “For” vote, please call us toll-free at 1-800-821-8780 between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. EST Monday through Friday. At the time of the call please reference the TAG ID number listed below.
