Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
   STI Classic Funds:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Classic
Institutional Core Bond Fund (formerly Seix Core Bond Fund), Classic
Institutional Intermediate Bond Fund (formerly Seix Intermediate Bond Fund),
Seix Institutional High Yield Fund (formerly Seix High Yield Fund) and
Classic Institutional Limited Duration Fund (formerly Seix Limited Duration
Fund) (four of the funds constituting STI Classic Funds, hereafter referred
to as the "Funds") for the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 Funds 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States).  A material weakness, for purposes of this report, 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 its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as
of October 31, 2004.

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.
