TITLE TREASURER
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The BlackRock Target Term Trust Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of The BlackRock Target Term
Trust Inc. (the "Trust") for the year ended December
31, 1999 (on which we have issued our report dated
February 11, 2000), 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, and not to
provide assurance on the Trust's 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 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 any internal
control, misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any
evaluation of internal control to future periods are
subject to the risk that the internal control may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the Trust's 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
one or more of the internal control components does
not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
misstatements caused by error 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 the Trust's
internal control and its operation, including
controls for safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be material weaknesses as defined above
as of December 31, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the
information and use of management, the Board of
Directors of The BlackRock Target Term Trust Inc.,
and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is
not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.
