Dear Shareholder:

An annual meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders of MuniYield
Pennsylvania Insured Fund (the "Fund") was held on April 25, 2001 to elect a
new Board of Trustees of the Fund. Our records indicate that on February 28,
2001, the record date for the Meeting, you were a holder of common shares of
beneficial interest of the Fund. However, due to a processing error, the proxy
card or voting instruction form ("voting form") you received in the package of
proxy materials originally mailed to you was incorrect. Specifically, the
voting form listed the incorrect nominees for the Board of Trustees. Enclosed,
please find corrected voting form(s). If you have already sent in the voting
form you first received, please note that your vote will not be properly
recorded. Please use the enclosed form(s) to revote your shares. If you have
not yet voted, you may do so using the enclosed voting form(s). Also enclosed
for your convenience is another copy of the notice of meeting and proxy
statement for the Meeting. Your vote is very important to us. In order to
ensure that you have the opportunity to vote your shares, we have adjourned
the April 25, 2001 meeting until Wednesday, May 16, 2001.

Please sign, date and return your executed proxy in the enclosed postage paid
envelope, so that it will be received by May 16, 2001.

If you have any questions regarding the Meeting agenda or the execution of
your proxy, please call Shareholder Communications Corporation at
1-800-645-4519.

We very much regret this error and any inconvenience it may have caused you.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
