To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Morgan Stanley:

We have reviewed, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of Morgan Stanley and subsidiaries for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and have issued our report dated May 9, 2011, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and have issued our report dated August 8, 2011 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and have issued our report dated November 7, 2011. As indicated in such reports, because we did not perform an audit, we expressed no opinion on that information.
