<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt"><FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">In planning and performing
our audit of the financial statements of BNY Mellon High Yield Strategies Fund (the Fund) as of and for the year ended March&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2022,
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="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt"><FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">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="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt"><FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">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="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt"><FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">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="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt"><FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">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 March&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2022.</FONT></P>

and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, and the rules thereunder, the Fund's officers and Trustees, persons owning more than 10% of the Fund's

interest to the SEC, and the Fund. Based solely on written representations of such persons and on copies of reports that have been filed
with the SEC, the Fund believes that, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, all filing requirements applicable to such persons
were complied with except that Form 3s were not filed on a timely basis for BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (&quot;BNYM Investment
Adviser&quot;), the Fund's investment adviser, and Bradley Skapyak, who became a Board Member of the Fund on September 16, 2021. With
respect to BNYM Investment Adviser, a Form 3 was filed on October 12, 2021, and with respect to Mr. Skapyak, a Form 3 was filed on September
27, 2021 each of which reflected that BNYM Investment Adviser and Mr. Skapyak, as applicable, did not own any of the Fund's shares of
beneficial interest.</P>
