RE: Demand with respect to Submitting a Shareholder Proposal for the Federated Enhanced Income Fund ("FTT" or the "Fund"), CUSIP 314162108
Mr. McGonigle:
Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("Cede & Co."), is a holder of record of shares of common stock (the "Common Shares"), of the Federated Enhanced Income Fund
(the "Company", "Fund" or "FTT"). These shares are registered on the stock transfer books of the Company in the name of Cede & Co. Cede & Co. is informed by its Participant U.S. Bank N.A. (the "Participant"), that on the date hereof 900 Common Shares of the Company, CUSIP 314162108,
which are credited to the Participant's account are beneficially owned by Karpus Management, Inc., d/b/a Karpus Investment Management ("Karpus").
Cede & Co.'s address is: c/o The Depository Trust Company, 55 Water Street, New York, NY 10041-0099. Participant U.S. Bank N.A.'s address is: U.S. Bank, c/o Sheldon Solbro, 60 Livingston Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota 55107. Beneficial owner Karpus' address is: 183 Sully's Trail, Pittsford,
New York 14534.
At the request of Participant, on behalf of Karpus, Cede & Co., as holder of record of Common Shares, is hereby submitting this notice (the "Notice") to the Company to submit the attached shareholder proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Proposal"), at the
Company's 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and any postponement or adjournment thereof (the "Annual Meeting"), anticipated to be held in September 2015.
Cede & Co. has been informed by U.S. Bank that Karpus is seeking at the Annual Meeting to present the attached Proposal. Cede & Co. has also been informed by U.S. Bank that Karpus believes the Proposal, and all exhibits hereto, are proper matters for shareholder action and that Karpus
intends to appear at the Meeting in person or by proxy to submit the business specified in this Notice. Cede & Co. has further been informed by U.S. Bank that Karpus is submitting the Proposal at the Meeting and in that regard Cede & Co. hereby submits the Proposal for presentation by Karpus

EXHIBIT 1
Shareholder Proposal
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Investment Management Agreement between the Federated Enhanced Income Fund ("FTT" or the "Fund") and Federated Investment Management Company (the "Adviser") shall be terminated.
Supporting Statement
FTT lists the Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond Index as its benchmark. Compared to this stated benchmark, the Fund's net asset value (or the full value of FTT's underlying assets minus the Fund's liabilities) has underperformed substantially since inception, as well as over 1 and 3 year time periods
ending 12/31/2014.
In fact, on a 1 year basis, FTT has underperformed by 4.68%. And, on a 3 year basis and since inception (1/29/2010-12/31/2014), it has underperformed by 1.60% and 4.33%, respectively (Source: Bloomberg Finance, LP). Importantly, all of these figures are on an annualized basis. Clearly, this
type of perpetual underperformance is not acceptable.
On top of this, throughout the end of 2014, the Fund has traded at an average discount of 8.5% despite the Board and Advisor recommending and implementing share repurchases, a managed distribution policy (which has been reduced), termination of the Fund's sub-adviser, a reduction in the
management fee, and a change to the Fund's portfolio manager.
With the discount staying so wide, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that shareholders and the market have lost faith in the Adviser's ability to successfully manage the Fund, as well as the Board's ability to manage the Adviser. In fact, the results of last year's election show
just that, where over 54% of votes cast (or just over 50% of the Fund's outstanding shares) withheld authority to vote for the Fund's Board nominees!
The Board and the Fund's Adviser have exhausted FTT's proverbial "bag of tricks" and we believe shareholders should be given an opportunity to realize the true value of their shares. While the Fund is likely to come up with a litany of arguments against our proposal, the simple fact of the
matter is that the current Adviser has not been able to provide attractive, long-term performance for the Fund. Despite its best efforts, the Adviser has been given more than ample time to prove its value to FTT's shareholders and we believe it has fallen dramatically short of being able to
do so.
It is clear that the time for change is now! If you agree and believe FTT should terminate its Investment Management Agreement with Federated Investment Management Company, please vote FOR this proposal.
