    Dear Shareholder,

    Fourth Redemption of Ordinary Shares  

    I refer to my letter dated 1 May 2008 advising you of the procedure for the redemption of Ordinary Shares in September this year (the
"Fourth Redemption").

    The Directors have now resolved to effect the Fourth Redemption of one half (subject to roundings) of the Ordinary Shares in issue on 3
September this year (the "Redemption Date") at a price of  133.0p per Ordinary Share. The attached Notice of Redemption gives full details
of this Fourth Redemption.

    Following the expiry of the green Share Certificates currently in issue, new yellow Share Certificates will be issued for the balance of
Ordinary Shares held following the Fourth Redemption on the Redemption Date, together with a cheque for the proceeds of the Ordinary Shares
redeemed. These new yellow Share Certificates will not have an expiry date and will be valid for the remainder of the Company's life. 

    Ordinary Shares currently in issue will continue to be dealt in on the London Stock Exchange and your green Share Certificate will be
valid for the transfer of Ordinary Shares up until 5 September 2008 after which transfers will be certified against the share register until
the posting of further new certificates, which is expected to take place on 12 September 2008.

    If you have received the proceeds of the Company's first, second and third redemptions on 7 September 2005, 6 September 2006 and 5
September 2007 respectively, there is no action for you to take in respect of this Fourth Redemption.


    Those Shareholders who have not yet received the proceeds of the first, second or third redemptions should contact the Transfer Agent by
writing to Capita Registrars, Corporate Actions, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, or alternatively by telephoning
0871 664 0321, or if calling from outside the UK on +44 (0)20 8639 3399. Calls to the 0871 664 0321 number cost 10p per minute plus
telephone network extras. Calls may be recorded for your protection and training purposes.

    For UK resident Shareholders, the redemption of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the attached Notice will normally be treated as a disposal
of shares for capital gains tax purposes, and not as an income distribution. For UK tax purposes, the disposal will be treated as taking
place on the Redemption Date and not at any later date. Shareholders in any doubt as to their tax position should seek appropriate
professional advice.  

    If you have any questions concerning any of the foregoing please do not hesitate to contact the Investment Manager to the Company by
telephoning 020 7668 8300.

    Yours sincerely,

    

    Peter Bailey 
    Chairman



    NOTICE OF REDEMPTION OF REDEEMABLE ORDINARY SHARES IN
    BARCLAYS GLOBAL INVESTORS ENDOWMENT FUND II LIMITED 
    ( the "Company")



    Notice is hereby given pursuant to Article 10 (C) of the Articles of Association of the Company that the Directors have resolved to
redeem one half* of each Shareholder's holding of Ordinary Shares on 3 September 2008 at a price of 133.0p per Ordinary Share.

    Shareholders who have received the proceeds of the first, second and third redemptions (on 7 September 2005, 6 September 2006 and 5
September 2007 respectively) need take no action to receive the proceeds of the Fourth Redemption. Your green Share Certificate(s) will
expire on 5 September 2008. A new yellow Share Certificate for the balance of Ordinary Shares held will be sent to the named Shareholder on
the Register to the address of such Shareholder, together with a cheque for the proceeds of the Fourth Redemption on or about 12 September
2008. This new yellow Share Certificate will not have an expiry date and will be valid for the remainder of the Company's life.

    Green Share Certificates, currently in issue, will be recognised as evidence of title until the Record Date, 5 September 2008. After
this date, share transfers supported by existing green Share Certificates will be certified against the share register, pending payment of
redemption proceeds and the issue of the new yellow balance Share Certificates.
    Those Shareholders who have not yet received the proceeds of the first, second or third redemptions should contact the Transfer Agent by
writing to Capita Registrars, Corporate Actions, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, or alternatively by telephoning
0871 664 0321, or if calling from outside the UK on +44 (0)20 8639 3399. Calls to the 0871 664 0321 number cost 10p per minute plus
telephone network extras. Calls may be recorded for your protection and training purposes. 

    Any interest earned on redemption proceeds will be for the benefit of the Company and will be reflected in the Net Asset Value per
Ordinary Share.

    *    Only whole Ordinary Shares will be redeemed and the number of Ordinary Shares registered in the name of each holder to be redeemed
will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. All Shares not redeemed will remain in the name of the Shareholder appearing on
the Register.
