Report of Independent Registered
 Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of DWS Advisor Funds
 and Shareholders of DWS Lifecycle
 Long Range Fund:

In planning and performing our audit
of the financial statements of DWS
 Lifecycle Long Range Fund (the
"Fund"), as of and for the year
ended March 31, 2009, in accordance
 with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), we considered the
 Fund's internal control over
financial reporting, including control
 activities for safeguarding securities,
 as a basis for designing our
auditing procedures for the purpose
of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and to comply
with the requirements of Form N-SAR,
 but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Fund's internal
 control over financial reporting.
 Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the
Fund's internal control over
 financial reporting.

The management of the Fund is responsible
 for establishing and maintaining effective
 internal control over
financial reporting.  In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments
by management are required to
assess the expected benefits and related
 costs of controls.  A fund's internal
control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial
 statements for external purposes
in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.  A fund's
internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
 of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
 of the assets of the fund; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to
 permit preparation of financial statements in
 accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles,
 and that receipts and expenditures of the fund
are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of
 management and trustees of the fund; and (3)
 provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of a fund's assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal
 control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial
reporting exists when the design or operation
of a control
does not allow management or employees, in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.
 A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
 reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a
material misstatement of the Fund's annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal
control over financial reporting was for
the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph and would
 not necessarily disclose all deficiencies
 in internal control over
financial reporting that might be material
 weaknesses under standards established by
 the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
  However, we noted no deficiencies in the
 Fund's internal
control over financial reporting and its
 operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above as of March 31, 2009.

This report is intended solely for the
information and use of the Trustees,
 management, and the Securities
and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used
by anyone other than these
specified parties.
