                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Pilgrim Worldwide Emerging Markets
Fund, Inc.:

In planning and performing  our audit of the financial  statements and financial
highlights of Pilgrim Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund, Inc.,  formerly Lexington
Worldwide Emerging Markets Fund, Inc., (the "Fund") for the period ended October
31, 2000, 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 financial
highlights  and to comply with the  requirements  of Form N-SAR,  not to provide
assurance on internal control.

The  management of the Fund is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining
internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgements 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 and financial  highlights
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 fraud may occur
and not be detected.  Also,  projection of any evaluation of internal control to
future  periods  is  subject to the risk that  controls  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 and financial highlights 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 as of October 31, 2000.

This report is intended solely for the  information  and use of management,  the
Board of Directors of Pilgrim  Worldwide  Emerging  Markets  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.
