INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and  Shareholders  Seligman  Global Fund Series,  Inc. In
planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Seligman Global
Fund Series,  Inc. (the  "Company")  (including  Emerging  Markets Fund,  Global
Growth  Fund,   Global  Smaller  Companies  Fund,  Global  Technology  Fund  and
International Growth Fund) for the year ended October 31, 2000 (on which we have
issued our report dated December 15, 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  requirements of Form N-SAR, and not to
provide assurance on the Company's internal control.

The management of the Company 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 any internal  control,  misstatements due to
error  or  fraud  may  occur  and  not be  detected.  Also,  projections  of any
evaluation  of internal  control to future  periods are subject to the risk that
the internal control may become  inadequate  because of changes in conditions or
that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may  deteriorate.  Our
consideration of the Company's  internal control would not necessarily  disclose
all matters in the  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 misstatements due to error or fraud 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 the
Company's   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,  the Board of  Directors  and  Shareholders  of Seligman
Global Fund Series,  Inc.,  and the  Securities  Exchange  Commission and is not
intended  to be and  should not be used by anyone  other  than  these  specified
parties.
