The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Evergreen International Trust

In planning and performing  our audits of the financial  statements of Evergreen
Emerging Markets Growth Fund,  Evergreen  Global Leaders Fund,  Evergreen Global
Opportunities Fund, Evergreen International Growth Fund, Evergreen Latin America
Fund, Evergreen Perpetual Global Fund,  Evergreen Perpetual  International Fund,
and Evergreen Precious Metals Fund, portfolios of Evergreen International Trust,
for the year ended  October  31,  2000,  we  considered  its  internal  control,
including control activities for safeguarding securities,  in order to determine
our  auditing  procedures  for the  purpose  of  expressing  our  opinion on the
financial  statements and to comply with the  requirements of Form N-SAR, not to
provide assurance on internal control.

The management of Evergreen  International Trust is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this  responsibility,  estimates
and  judgments by  management  are required to assess the expected  benefits and
related  costs of controls.  Generally,  controls  that are relevant to an audit
pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external
purposes that are fairly  presented in  conformity  with  accounting  principles
generally  accepted in the United States of America.  Those controls include the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.

Because of inherent  limitations in internal  control,  errors or irregularities
may occur and not be detected.  Also,  projection of any  evaluation of internal
control to future periods is subject to the risks that it may become  inadequate
because of changes in  conditions  or that the  effectiveness  of the design and
operation may deteriorate.

Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters
in  internal   control  that  might  be  material   weaknesses  under  standards
established  by the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more
of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation
to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a
timely  period by employees in the normal course of  performing  their  assigned
functions.  However,  we noted no matters  involving  internal  control  and its
operation,  including controls for safeguarding securities,  that we consider to
be material weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2000.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Board of  Trustees  of  Evergreen  International  Trust and the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.
