To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Norwest Advantage Funds
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Limited Term Tax-Free Fund, Tax-Free Income
Fund, Colorado Tax-Free Fund, Minnesota Intermediate Tax-
Free Fund and Minnesota Tax-Free Fund, funds of Norwest
Advantage Funds (the Trust), for the one month period ended
June 30, 1999, we considered its internal control, 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 control.
The management of the Trust is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefit and related costs of
controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit
pertain to the entitys 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 control, errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection
of any evaluation of internal control 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 the internal control would not
necessarily disclose all matters in internal control 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 component does not
reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or
irregularities 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 control, including
controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above as of June 30, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
