Exhibit 99.7

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR US READERS ON CANADA- US REPORTING DIFFERENCES

To the Board of Directors of IAMGOLD Corporation.

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) that refers to the audit report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our report to the shareholders dated March 25, 2010 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not require a reference to the audit report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the financial statement auditors’ report.
