         Re:  Notice of Late Filing on Form NT-NCSR

                Accession Number:  0000907244-08-000853 (File No.: 333-21799)

                (Evergreen International Balanced Income Fund)

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is being filed in order to correct the filing record of the Evergreen International Balanced Income Fund (the “Registrant”).

On December 31, 2008, a notice of late filing pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was inadvertently filed

by the Registrant on Form NT-NCSR. That filing should have been filed using form type NT-NSAR. The Registrant filed the corrected filing

using Form NT-NSAR on December 31, 2008 (accession no.: 0000907244-08-000863).

Please direct all inquiries to Regina Brown of Evergreen  Investments at 617-210-3687.

                                                        Very truly yours,

                                                       \s\ Regina Brown
