Scudder Intermediate Government & Agency Trust

Chicago, IL 60606

           RE:  Conversion of Scudder Intermediate Government & Agency Trust (the “Trust”) from a “closed-end company” to an “open-end company” pursuant to Section 5 of Article IX of the Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated May 16, 1988, as amended (the “Trust Agreement”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned filed a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2005, regarding the ownership of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust. As you should be aware, the Trust Agreement provides that the Trustees shall submit a proposal to the shareholders of the Trust to convert the Trust from a “closed-end company” to an “open-end company”, together with the necessary amendments to the Trust Agreement to permit such a conversion, if the shares of the Trust have traded at an average discount from net asset value of more than 10%, determined on the basis of the discount as of the end of the last trading day in each week during the period of 12 calendar weeks preceding the beginning of each year. Such vote must occur at the earlier of the next succeeding Trust shareholders’ meeting or within six months of the event triggering such a vote.

 


 

CUSIP No. 811163 10 4   Page 8 of 9

Based on the computations and historical net asset value tables as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, the shares of the Trust have traded at an average discount from net asset value of 10.232% on the last trading day in each week during the period of 12 calendar weeks preceding January 1, 2005, which is a value greater than 10%, thereby triggering the conversion provisions of Section 5 of Article IX of the Trust Agreement.

Section 5 of Article IX of the Trust Agreement provides shareholders with a safeguard against Trust management that may be unconcerned or unmotivated to address the Trust’s share trading discount to net asset value. Moreover, this provision was presented to prospective investors in the Trust’s Prospectus dated July 28, 1988. The undersigned purchased shares of the Trust assuming the Trustees would comply with their obligations under Section 5 of Article IX of the Trust Agreement.

Please advise the undersigned whether the Trustees intend to submit the required vote to the shareholders of the Trust. If the Trustees do not intend to do so, please explain why such action is not required under the Trust Agreement.

We strongly believe that the Trustees have a fiduciary obligation to the shareholders of the Trust to submit for a vote an open-ending provision with a recommendation for approval to the shareholders as provided for in the Trust Agreement.

We expect the Trustees to promptly address the significant corporate governance matters set forth in this letter, and we intend to take all necessary and appropriate action to enforce Section 5 of Article IX of the Trust Agreement.

We look forward to your prompt response to this letter.

Sincerely,

OTTER CREEK PARTNERS I, L.P.
