Dear Mr. Wilson:

     This is to confirm the conversation today between Christopher White, Staff Accountant and our counsel, John J. Huber of Latham & Watkins, LLP, to the effect that The Reynolds and Reynolds Company (the “Company”) needs additional time to prepare the position paper on its revenue recognition policy and to respond to the non-revenue recognition comments in the Staff’s comment letter dated September 16, 2005. As discussed with Mr. White, management, particularly Gregory Geswein, who became Chief Financial Officer on August 23, 2005, is working with the Company’s auditors and consultants, including Mr. Huber, who became counsel to the Company in September 2005, to address the Staff’s comments in a thorough and complete fashion, so that the comments can be resolved without the necessity of another comment letter. Also, as discussed with Mr. White, Mr. Huber will update the Staff about the Company’s schedule to respond by October 21, 2005.

Sincerely,

/s/ Joyce Murty
Joyce Murty
Senior Corporate Counsel
