INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Trustees and Shareholders of

The BlackRock Broad Investment Grade 2009 Term Trust Inc.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of The BlackRock Broad Investment Grade 2009 Term Trust Inc. (the “Trust”) for the year ended October 31, 2002 (on which we have issued our report dated December 6, 2002), 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, and not to provide assurance on the Trust’s 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Also, projections of any evaluation of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our consideration of the Trust’s internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in the 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 the Trust’s internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2002.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Trustees and Shjareholders of The BlackRock Broad Investment Grade 2009 Term Trust Inc., and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and Section 30(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") require a Trust's officers and Directors/Trustees, officers and directors of the Trust’s investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Trust's Shares to file certain reports of ownership (“Section 16 filings”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange (as applicable) and each of the Trusts.  As a convenience to the Directors/Trustees, [BlackRock (the investment adviser to the Trusts) assists the Directors/Trustees and officers in making their Section 16 filings.  Based upon each Trust's review of the copies of such forms effecting the Sectio n 16 filings received by it, each Trust believes that for its fiscal year ended in 2002, all filings applicable to such persons were completed and filed, except for those instances discussed below.  During fiscal year 2002, it came to the attention of the Trusts that, due to an administrative oversight, Form 5s had not been filed on behalf of Messrs. Cavanagh, Mondale, LaForce, and Brimmer with respect to certain share equivalents credited to them in one or more of BCT, BKT, BNA, BHY, BHK and/or BHD pursuant to deemed quarterly investments under the Trust's deferred compensation plan in fiscal years 2001 and 2002. For such quarterly deferred compensation transactions in 2000 and 2001, Form 5s in respect of 2000 and 2001 were filed in September of 2002.  In addition, due to administrative oversight, one late report was filed on behalf of each of Messrs. Cavanagh (BHK), La Force (BHD) and Kapito (BNJ) with respect to one transaction each.  In addition, Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act requires that an investment company's investment adviser and certain of the investment adviser's affiliates file Form 3s with respect to the Trusts.  For each of BCT, BKT, BNA, BHY, BHK, BHD, BKN, BBF, BFK, BFZ, BNJ, and BNY, the Trust's investment adviser and/or certain affiliates of the investment adviser either acting as sub-advisor to a Trust or owning Trust shares filed late Form 3s in October of 2002.
