DELAWARE REIT FUND
 
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
 
May 7, 2010
 
Dear Valued Shareholder:
 
Today the special meeting of shareholders of Delaware REIT Fund (the “Fund”) – your investment – had to be adjourned because not enough shareholders have voted. In order for the Fund to proceed with the proposal on the special shareholder meeting agenda, at least 50% of the outstanding shares must be voted. To date, over 90% of the votes cast have been in favor of the proposal, but without more shareholders participating in the vote, this business of the Fund cannot move forward. If you have not yet cast your vote, please vote today to help us avoid the expense of additional mailings and other solicitation efforts.
 
Our records indicate that you are a record date shareholder and your vote has not yet been received. If you have not yet voted, please cast a vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN so that regardless of how you choose to vote on the proposal, your shares will be represented at the adjourned meeting on May 21, 2010.
 
Enclosed you will find another copy of your proxy ballot(s) which list(s) the proposal to be voted on and the voting options set up to help you conveniently cast your vote. If you have cast your proxy vote since this letter was mailed, we thank you sincerely for your participation. If you have not yet cast your vote, please do so today. You may feel that you do not own enough shares to make a difference, but the Fund has thousands of other investors just like you. Therefore, every vote registered is extremely important to the outcome.
 
Sincerely,
 

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
 
If you need another copy of the proxy statement or have any proxy-related questions, please call 1-877-864-5057 for assistance. Thank you in advance for your participation.
