Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Dreyfus
Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. for the year ended October 31, 1999, 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 Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. 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 generally accepted accounting principles. Those controls
include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or fraud may occur
and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control
to future periods is subject to the risk 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 misstatements caused by 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 internal control and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above at October 31, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Directors of Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc., and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not
be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
