REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
STI Classic Funds:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of STI Classic High Income Fund for the
year ended March 31, 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, not to provide assurance on internal control.
The management of STI Classic High Income 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 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 control,
error or fraud 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 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
