Report to Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Alliance Global Dollar Government Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Alliance
Global Dollar Government Fund, Inc. for the year ended August 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 the
internal control.
The management of Alliance Global Dollar Government Fund, Inc. 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, 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 the 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 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 the internal control and its operation,
including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above at August 31, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the board of
directors and management of Alliance Global Dollar Government Fund, Inc.
and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
