DREYFUS DISCOVERY FUND- PROXY LITE MESSAGE
“Hello. This is Robert DelToro, Telecommunications Specialist III of Dreyfus.
I am calling you because you are a shareholder of the DREYFUS DISCOVERY FUND and we are encouraging you to vote on an important proposal affecting the Fund.
Although the response thus far has been very favorable, not enough votes have been cast to meet the necessary requirements. Accordingly, the shareholder meeting has been adjourned to March 26, 2010, so you still have time to vote. Your vote is very important to the Fund.
A new proxy card and letter regarding the meeting adjournment were recently sent to you. Fund shareholders may vote in one of four ways: by mailing the proxy card, by telephone, by website or by attending the shareholder meeting on Friday, March 26, 2010. Please refer to the proxy card for more detailed voting instructions, including the control number you will need to vote, the phone number to vote, the web address for voting and where to call if you have additional questions.
If you have questions or are unable to find your proxy materials and would like to receive new copies, please call the Fund’s Proxy Solicitor, Broadridge Financial Services, at 1-866-586-0512.
Thank you for investing with Dreyfus.
Goodbye.”
