This is to advise that Smith and Associates had been our Auditors for the period 2004-2008.

The Self Start Fund found the Company quite professional in conducting their audits, and we were so sorry when we had to part company. This was mainly due to our company's policy of rotating our auditors periodically.

We are very pleased to recommend this auditing firm to you as one in which we have great confidence in view of the fact that we have worked with them for five (5) years. That relationship had been a very positive and rewarding one for us.
