Re:    CorTS Trust III for Verizon Global Funding Notes (the "Trust")
       --------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have examined management's assertions that the Depositor and the Trustee have
complied, in all material respects, with the provisions of the Base Trust
Agreement dated as of December 15, 2000, as supplemented by the CorTS Trust III
for Verizon Global Funding Notes Series Supplement, dated as of April 26, 2004
(together, the "Trust Agreement"), during the period covered by the annual
report on Form 10-K filed by the Depositor on behalf of the Trust for the year
ended December 31, 2004 (the "Annual Report"). Management is responsible for
compliance with the Trust Agreement. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on management's assertions based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Depositor's and the Trustee's
compliance with the Trust Agreement and performing such other procedures as
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the Depositor and the Trustee have complied, in all material
respects, with the Trust Agreement during the period covered by the Annual
Report and management's assertions with respect to such compliance are fairly
stated, in all material respects, for the year ended December 31, 2004.
