Re: Delaware Group Equity Funds V (the "Fund")
File Nos. 33-11419, 811-4997
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
this letter serves as certification that the form of Supplements to the
Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information, that would have been
filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from those
contained in Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 24/24 (the "Post Effective
Amendment") to the Registration Statement of Delaware Group Equity Funds V. The
Post Effective Amendment was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
electronically on November 22, 1999 and became effective on November 23, 1999.
Please direct any questions or comments relating to this certification
to me at the above phone number.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Michael P. O'Hare
