REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees of
SEI Tax Exempt Trust:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of SEI Tax Exempt Trust for the year ended August 31, 1998, we
considered its internal controls, including procedures for
safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form
N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal controls.
The management of SEI Tax Exempt Trust is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal controls. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required
to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls.
Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the
entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external
purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Those controls include the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal controls, errors or
fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of internal controls to future periods is subject to the risk
that it may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the effectiveness of the design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal controls would not necessarily
disclose all matters in internal controls that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition
in which the design or operation of any specific internal control
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk
that misstatements caused by errors or fraud in amounts that
would be material in relation to the financial statements being
audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by
employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal
controls and its operations, including procedures for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined
above as of August 31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management, the Board of Trustees, and the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
