Item 4.	Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
	On June 26, 2002, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Atlantic American Corporation (the "Company") determined to end its engagement of Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as auditors and voted to engage the services of Deloitte & Touche, LLP to serve as the Company's independent auditors for the Company's 2002 fiscal year, effective immediately.
	Andersen's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
	During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and through the date hereof, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused Andersen to make reference to the subject matter in connection with its report with respect to the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
	The Company provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached, as Exhibit 16.1, is a copy of Andersen's letter, dated June 28, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements.
	During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and through the date hereof, the Company did not consult Deloitte & Touche, LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.

Dear Sir/Madam:

The representations made in this letter are based solely on discussions with and representations
from the engagement partner on the audits of the financial statements of this registrant for the
two most recent fiscal years. This individual is no longer with Arthur Andersen LLP. We have
read paragraphs 1-4 of Item 4 included in the Form 8-K, dated June 28, 2002, of Atlantic
American Corporation to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and have found
no basis for disagreement with the statements contained therein.

Very truly yours,

    /s/ Arthur Andersen LLP
