Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">To the Shareholders and Board of
Trustees<br>
abrdn Global Dynamic Dividend Fund:</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">In planning and performing our audit
of the financial statements of abrdn Global Dynamic Dividend Fund (the Fund) as
of and for the year ended October&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2023, 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
controls over 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-CEN, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">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 company'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 company'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 company; (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 company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">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.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">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 company&#8217;s annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">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 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 over safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of
October&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2023.</font></p>
