Dear Shareholder:

The Board of Trustees of First Trust Enhanced Equity Income Fund (the "Fund")
recently sent you a Notice regarding a Special Meeting of Shareholders, which is
scheduled for Monday, June 9, 2014 at the offices of First Trust Advisors L.P.,
120 East Liberty Drive, Suite 400, Wheaton, Illinois 60187. The purpose of the
Shareholder Meeting is to ask for your vote on an important proposal pertaining
to your investment in the Fund. Since the Shareholder Meeting requires 50% of
the outstanding shares to vote in person or by proxy ("Quorum") in order to
properly consider the approval of the proposal, it is extremely important that
all shareholders vote.

THE FUND'S RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOU HAVE NOT YET VOTED. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT
NOW TO CAST YOUR VOTE SO THAT YOUR SHARES MAY BE REPRESENTED FOR THE PURPOSES OF
QUORUM FOR THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING.

Detailed information about the proposal can be found in the proxy statement
previously mailed to you. To view the proxy material electronically please log
on to www.proxyvote.com and enter the control number provided on the enclosed
proxy card.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE
