Ladies and Gentlemen:

Re: INTERUNION FINANCIAL CORPORATION

We have read Item 4 of Interunion Financial Corporation's Amended Form 8-K dated
January 24, 2000, and signed February 15, 2000, and are in agreement with the
statements contained therein except that our fee estimate was approximately 10%
higher than the previous year whereas Form 8-K uses the term "significantly".

Yours truly
BDO DUNWOODY LLP
