Exhibit 99.3

[LETTERHEAD OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE]

# INDEPENDENT
ACCOUNTANTS REPORT

Board of Directors and
StockholderWashington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp.

We have examined managements
assertion, included in the accompanying Managements Assertion Concerning Compliance
with Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp.s Minimum Servicing Standards, that
Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. (WMMSC) complied with the minimum servicing
standards in its role as Master Servicer as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Such assertions were examined relating to those series of certificates included in the
attached Exhibit 1. Management is responsible for WMMSCs compliance with those
minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
managements assertion about WMMSCs compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in
accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about
WMMSCs compliance with its minimum servicing standards and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Series of certificates subject
to such procedures were selected using sampling methods, and accordingly, we make no
representations that our examination procedures were performed on a specific series of
certificates as listed in the attached Exhibit I. We believe that our examination provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination
on WMMSCs compliance with its minimum servicing standards.

In our opinion, managements
assertion that WMMSC complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2002, is fairly stated, in all material respects.

Exhibit 99.4

# Managements
Assertion Concerning Compliance with Washington Mutual Mortgage
Securities Corp.s Minimum Servicing Standards

February 20, 2003

Deloitte & Touche LLP700
Fifth Avenue Suite 4500 Seattle, Washington 98104

For the year ended December 31, 2002,
Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. (WMMSC) has complied in all material respects
with our minimum servicing standards set forth below under master servicing arrangements.
Primary servicing functions are performed by various subservicers.

Our minimum standards are:

I.    
          RECONCILIATIONS

A.    
          Reconciliations shall be prepared on a monthly basis for all clearing accounts.
          These reconciliations shall:

1)       
          Be mathematically accurate.

2)       
 Be prepared within forty-five (45) calendar days after each clearing
                    accounts statement cutoff date.

3)       
 Be reviewed and approved by someone other than the person who prepared the reconciliation, and document explanations for reconciling items.

B.    
          Reconciling items shall be resolved within ninety (90) calendar days of their
          original identification.

C.    
          Each clearing account shall be maintained as prescribed by applicable pooling
          and servicing agreements.

Exception  During the
year, certain reconciliations were not completed within our minimum servicing standards
and contained items that were not resolved within 90 calendar days of their original
identification. These occurrences did not adversely impact trustees, paying agents, or
investors. The reconciliation process has since been enhanced and the December 31, 2002
reconciliations were in compliance with the minimum servicing standards in all material
respects.

II.    
          SUBSERVICER REMITTANCES

A.    
          Remittances for mortgage payments and payoffs received from subservicers shall
          be deposited into the applicable clearing account within one business day of
          receipt.

B.    
          Remittances from subservicers shall be reconciled to applicable loan records
          maintained by WMMSC during the appropriate accounting cycle.

C.    
          Reconciliations shall be performed monthly for each subservicer remittance.
          These reconciliations shall:

1)       
          Be mathematically accurate.

2)       
          Be prepared within thirty (30) calendar days after the cutoff date.

III.    
          DISBURSEMENTS

A.    
          Disbursements to trustees, paying agents, and investors shall be made in
          accordance with the applicable pooling and servicing agreements and/or the
          prospectus indicating how cash flows are to be allocated.

B.    
          Disbursements from the clearing accounts for amounts remitted to trustees,
          paying agents and investors, per our monthly reports to those entities, shall
          agree with the bank statements for the clearing accounts.

C.    
          Only permitted withdrawals, per our interpretation of the applicable pooling and
          servicing agreements, shall be made from the clearing accounts.

D.    
          Disbursements to trustees, paying agents and investors from clearing accounts,
          made via wire transfer, shall be made only by authorized personnel.

IV.    
          INVESTOR ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING

A.    
          Statements to the trustees, paying agents and investors shall be provided with
          each monthly distribution, in accordance with applicable pooling and servicing
          agreements, detailing the applicable distribution activity and effect on the
          unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans.

V.    
          MORTGAGOR LOAN ACCOUNTING

A.    
          Loan records maintained by WMMSC shall agree with, or reconcile within material
          amounts to, the mortgage loan records maintained by the subservicer with respect
          to unpaid principal balance on a monthly basis.

VI.    
          DELIQUENCIES

A.    
          Reports from subservicers identifying delinquent loans shall be received and
          reviewed monthly. The number and aggregate principal balances of delinquent
          mortgage loans contained in these reports shall be included in our monthly
          statements to the trustees, paying agents and investors

VII.    
          INSURANCE POLICIES

As of and for this same period,
Washington Mutual, Inc. (the ultimate parent of WMMSC) maintained a fidelity bond in the
amount $110,000,000 and a mortgage impairment/mortgagees errors and omissions and
professional liability insurance policy in the amount of $20,000,000.
