Dear Sir/Madam:

We have read the disclosure under "Previous Independent Accountants" included
in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated March 20, 2000 as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are in agreement with the
statements contained in the report. In addition, during the Company's two
most recent fiscal years and through March 20, 2000, we have not been aware
of the existence of any reportable event listed in Regulation S-B Item
304(a)(1)(iv), and we have had no communications with the Company relating to
the existence of such a reportable event.

Very truly yours,

Conte Co., C.P.A., Inc.
