EXHIBIT 1
Nomination Letter Submitted to the Fund
Transmitted May 12, 2010

Re:	BlackRock MuniHoldings New York Insured Fund, Inc. ("MHN"); and
	BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. ("MHD")(collectively the "Funds")

Mr. Surloff:
Karpus Management, Inc. ("Karpus") represents beneficial shareholder ownership of 1,503 shares or 15.42% of the BlackRock MuniHoldings New York Insured Fund, Inc. ("MHN") auction rate preferred shares and also represents beneficial ownership of 413 shares or 12.34% of BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. ("MHD") auction rate preferred shares.

Pursuant to the Fund's DEF 14A filed on July 17, 2009, Karpus believes that the terms of two (2) MHD and MHN Auction Rate Preferred Share directors currently serving on the MHD and MHN Board expire at the 2010 Annual Meeting. This letter shall serve as notification that Karpus hereby nominates two (2) director nominees to be solely elected by the holders of the MHD and MHN Auction Rate Preferred Shareholders at the next annual meeting of shareholders anticipated to be held in August 2010 ("2010 Annual Meeting").

To the extent that more than two (2) vacancies exist on the MHD or MHN Board to be elected solely by the MHD or MHN Auction Rate Preferred Shareholders and to be filled by election at the 2010 annual meeting or MHD or MHN increases the size of the MHD or MHN Board above its existing size, Karpus reserves the right to nominate such additional preferred share nominees to be elected to the MHD or MHN Board at the 2010 Annual Meeting. Additionally, if this Notice shall be deemed for any reason to be ineffective with respect to the nomination of the Nominees indicated below, or if the indicated Nominee shall be unable to serve for any reason, this Notice shall continue to be effective with respect to the remaining Nominee(s) and as to any replacement Nominee(s) selected by Karpus.

As the Board and AMPS Committee clearly know, auctions for closed-end fund preferred shares began to fail in February of 2008. Prior to the failure of these auctions, preferred shareholders could participate in the auction process and receive par value for their investment. Now that the auction process has been frozen for over two years, preferred shareholders must rely upon their Board, more than ever, to address this matter, return their capital and protect their interests. We are disappointed that the Funds have not publicly announced any intent to consider providing liquidity to its auction rate preferred shareholders. As preferred shareholders, we therefore do not feel that we are receiving adequate representation from the existing designated preferred share directors of MHD or MHN. Karpus is therefore submitting its director nominees because we feel that the MHD and MHN preferred shareholders should have effective representation on the Funds' Boards.

The information concerning the Nominees required by the Nominating Committee Charter is set forth below:

    Phillip Goldstein; Age: 64; Address: Park 80 West, 250 Pehle Avenue, Suite 708, Saddle Brook, NJ 07663; Share Ownership: N/A; Directorships/Other: Mr. Goldstein is an investment advisor and a principal of the general partner of six investment partnerships in the Bulldog Investors group of funds and is a principal of Brooklyn Capital Management LLC, the investment advisor for Special Opportunities Fund, Inc., f/k/a Insured Municipal Income Fund Inc.. He has been a director of the Mexico Equity and Income Fund since 2000, Brantley Capital Corporation since 2001, ASA Ltd since 2008 and Special Opportunities Fund, Inc., f/k/a Insured Municipal Income Fund Inc., since 2009.

    Brad Orvieto; Age: 53; Address: c/o Strategic Asset Management Group, 800 South Andrews Avenue, Suite 204, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316; Nationality: U.S. Citizen; Share Ownership: 4 MHD preferred shares; Professional Experience: Founded Horizon Financial Group, a Financial Planning and Investment Advisory firm, 1985. Horizon Financial Group merged with Strategic Asset Management Group, 1997; Education: University of Miami School of Business (B.B.A, (1979), International Finance and Marketing; Directorships/Other: Certified Financial Planner; Board of Directors, Equus II Inc. (EQS), 2010 Chairman of Broward County Housing Finance Authority, Steering Committee for the Incorporation of the City of Weston, McDonald Family Foundation-Trustee, City of Plantation Comprehensive Planning Board, Anti-defamation League Civil Rights Committee, Broward County Tourist Related Program Grant Panel, Broward County Cultural Arts Grant Panel, Broward County Art in Public Places Steering Committee, Board of Directors-Temple Kol Ami, Corporate Board - Broward County Boys & Girls Club.

Karpus does not believe that this Nominee is an "interested person" of MHD or MHN, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. Further, there are no arrangements or understandings between Karpus and any nominee in connection with the nominations nor do we know of any material conflicts of interest that would prevent any nominee from acting in the best interest of either Fund. Lastly, attached are the consents of Mr. Goldstein and Mr. Orvieto, whereby Mr. Goldstein and Mr. Orvieto consent to be nominated as directors of MHD and MHN at the 2010 Annual Meeting and further consent to serve if elected.

Should you have any questions with respect to this notification or require further information, or if this notice is deficient in any way, please contact me immediately at (585) 586-4680.

Sincerely,


Brett D. Gardner
