Dear Shareholder,
You recently received a Proxy Statement from The Germany Fund, Inc.
regarding the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 24, 2003 at the
offices of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 31 West 52nd Street, Fifth Floor
Auditorium, New York, New York 10019. The Proxy Card accompanying that Proxy
Statement incorrectly listed the names of two of the Directors standing for
election at the upcoming meeting. Detlef Bierbaum and Edward C. Schmults should
have appeared on the Proxy Card under Proposal (1) in the place of Christian H.
Strenger and Werner Warbrol.
We have enclosed a revised Proxy Card correctly listing the names of
the Director Nominees proposed for election at the upcoming Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. Whether or not you have already returned the Proxy Card previously
sent to you, please promptly return the enclosed Proxy Card to The Germany Fund,
Inc. The Proxy Card previously mailed to you cannot be used in connection with
the election of Directors.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please
contact Morrow & Co., Inc. at 445 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, or
1-800-654-2468.
Thank you.
