To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Prudential Global Limited Maturity Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of Prudential Global Limited
Maturity Fund, Inc., Limited Maturity Portfolio
(the "Fund") for the year ended October 31, 1997,
we considered its internal control, including
control activities 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 Fund is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal control. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of control
activities. Generally, control activities 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 control activities 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 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 components 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 control activities for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of October 31,
1997.
This report is intended solely for the information
and use of management and the Board of Directors
of the Fund and the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
