Pursuant to Rule 460 under the Act, we, as representatives of the several underwriters, wish to advise you that there will be distributed to each underwriter or dealer, who is reasonably anticipated to participate in the distribution of securities, as many copies of the preliminary prospectus as appears to be reasonable to secure adequate distribution of the preliminary prospectus.
