 THE MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13,
  2001, IS BEING ADJOURNED TO TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2001 AT 4:00 P.M. NEW YORK
    TIME AND WILL BE HELD AT THE OFFICES OF SIMPSON THACHER & BARTLETT, 425
               LEXINGTON AVENUE, 30TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, NEW YORK.
                    THE EMERGING MARKETS INCOME FUND II INC.

To our Shareholders:

As you may or may not know, many Citigroup Asset Management investment
professionals were located at 7 World Trade Center, a building that was
destroyed. Upon evacuating all personnel to safety, we immediately implemented
our business recovery plan, and have been in full operation since United States
financial markets reopened on September 17, 2001.

In light of these events, however, our Meeting of Shareholders is being
adjourned to Tuesday, November 13, 2001 at 4:00 p.m. New York Time, and the
location has been changed to the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, 425
Lexington Avenue, 30th Floor, New York, New York.

                                                                         FD02392
