TIME IS RUNNING SHORT AND THE ANNUAL MEETING ON MAY 24, 2010 IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING!

May 13, 2010

Dear Shareholders of DWS Multi-Market Income Trust:

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE--Your Fund is under attack by a group of dissident hedge fund managers.

You may have already received proxy solicitation material with a gold proxy card from a group of dissidents led by Arthur Lipson and his Western Investment LLC group of hedge funds (“Western”). Do not be confused. This is a highly inflammatory attempt by a group of hedge funds to influence your long-term investment for their short-term gain. Western’s solicitation is not endorsed by the Fund and your Board of Trustees strongly opposes Western’s proposal.

PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR SUPPORT NOW - PRESERVE THE FUND AND DEFEAT THIS ATTACK - PLEASE VOTE YOUR SHARES ON THE WHITE PROXY CARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

We urge you to carefully consider the information contained in the proxy statement that we previously sent you and then support our efforts to protect the Fund by authorizing your proxy today by telephone or via the Internet as detailed on the enclosed WHITE proxy card, or by signing, dating and returning today the enclosed WHITE proxy card in the postage paid envelope provided. Please do not return any gold proxy card that you may receive from Western.

We thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

The Board of Trustees of DWS Multi-Market Income Trust.
