Hello all,

In connection with the sale of Delaware Investments to Macquarie Group, there is a proxy solicitation for shareholders of Delaware REIT Fund (“Fund”) currently underway. Due to the requirements of certain Federal securities laws, the Fund’s previous investment management agreement terminated at the closing of the sale of Delaware Investments on Jan. 4, 2010, and the Fund is currently being managed pursuant to a temporary interim investment management agreement. As a result, shareholders of the Fund are being asked to approve a new investment management agreement between Delaware Pooled® Trust on behalf of the Fund and Delaware Management Company (“DMC”) so that DMC may continue to serve as the investment manager of the Fund.

If you have investments in the Fund, you should have received a proxy statement and one or more proxy cards in the mail.

Please note that this is a new proxy event. If you were a shareholder of record in the Fund during last year’s proxy campaign, the proxy materials that you should have received may appear to be the same as the materials you received in late 2009. However, these materials are different, and they require your attention once again.

Please be sure to vote your proxy even if you responded to the materials you received last year. Because this is a new and distinct proxy campaign, your response to last year’s mailing does not count toward the current campaign.

Please vote today. Your vote is important, no matter how many shares you own.

If you have already voted for all of your accounts, thank you, and you don’t need to do it again. If you do not have the proxy materials but are a shareholder, please e-mail Amy McKay at amy.mckay@delinvest.com with questions or for new materials.

Thank you for your participation in this important event.

The shareholder meeting will be held on May 7, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time. We encourage you and all shareholders to vote as soon as possible as the deadline for all responses is very quickly approaching.

If you have investments in the Fund, you should have received a proxy statement and one or more proxy cards in the mail. If you do not have the proxy materials but are a shareholder, please e-mail me and I can arrange for new materials, including the proxy card(s), to be sent to you. For your reference, please find enclosed a copy of the proxy statement and Q&A.

Please vote today. Your vote is important, no matter how many shares you own. If you have already voted for all of your accounts, thank you, and you don’t need to do it again.

Thank you for your participation in this important event.
