Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Sub-Administration between State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Sub-Administrator”) and Aberdeen Asset Management Inc.

Pursuant to the Agreement, this letter is to provide notice that the Board of Trustees of Aberdeen Funds approved the liquidation of the Aberdeen Core Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”).
