Gentlemen:
We are retained by Trans Global Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries [the "Company"]
as independent certified public accountants to report on the financial
statements at December 31, 1997 and for the fiscal years then ended. We have
endeavored, with the full cooperation of the Company, to obtain the necessary
information to meet the filing requirements for Form 10-K, both as to form and
timeliness. Due to the extensive period of time and the related delay in
developing data for the financial statements, we will not have sufficient time
to complete our audit by March 31, 1998 which is the required filing date for
the Company's annual report, without unreasonable effort and expense.
Very truly yours,
MOORE STEPHENS, P.C.
