Dear John:
Unfortunately, we have unable to reach each other via phone during the last
couple of weeks. The purpose of my phone call was to inform you that Price
Waterhouse LLP will be unable to continue as the New World Power Corporation's
accountant for the 1996 audit year.
Obviously, we will cooperate to facilitate a transition to other accountants. I
am available to discuss this in more detail at your convenience.
Regards.
/s/ J. Timothy Reilly
