NEWTON TITLE VICE PRESIDENT EX-99.77B ACCT LTTR 3 nsarletter.txt AUDITORS LETTER Report of Independent Accountants To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of John Hancock Investors Trust In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of John Hancock Investors Trust (the "Trust") for the year ended December 31, 2003, we considered its internal control, including control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control. The management of the Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition. Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of their design and operation may deteriorate. Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal control and their operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of December 31, 2003. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Trustees, management and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

We continually review our network to ensure that it reflects the changing global investment decisions of our clients. The Bank's dedicated, regional network management team monitors local economic, political, regulatory, and industry-related events, and keeps clients apprised of changes in the investment climate of each market. Banks are selected for the network based on a variety of criteria, such as compliance with worldwide regulatory requirements, competitive pricing, general market reputation, SWIFT message capabilities, securities lending support, credit ratings, overall banking relationship with The Bank of New York and ability to consistently meet our clients' needs. Each bank must meet a set of stringent performance standards prior to selection, which are reexamined during quarterly reviews and frequent on-site visits, ensuring that our clients are uniformly provided with the best subcustodian in each market. In its last three annual reviews of subcustodian networks, GSCS BenchmarksTM has ranked our network among the top two in both the Overall Network and Major Markets categories.
