The Trustees and Shareholders
Evergreen Variable Trust
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the
Evergreen VA Funds (including Evergreen VA Fund, Evergreen VA Foundation Fund,
Evergreen VA Growth and Income Fund, Evergreen VA Global Leaders Fund, Evergreen
VA Aggressive Growth Fund and Evergreen VA Strategic Income Fund) for the year
ended December 31, 1997, we considered its internal control, including
procedures 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 the Evergreen VA Funds 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, errors or irregularities
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 any
specific internal control component 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,
including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of December 31, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
