Mr. William Choi,
Branch Chief
Securities and Exchange Commission
Washington D.C.
Dear Mr. Choi:
In response to your letter dated August 15, 2005, I offer the following as to
your comments concerning PlanetLink's 10KSB for the period ending December 31,
2004:
1) Attached is the revised audit report from Kahn Boyd and Levychin
("KBL") using the correct form and wording as requested.
2) I think our current classification of the amortization expense of
the company's capitalized software costs is appropriate for the year
ended December 31, 2004 because it was only in the last quarter of
2004 that the company began recording revenue; prior to the last
quarter the company was in the development stage. The revenue for
2004 was only $3,000; we were just beginning to ramp up our sales.
While acknowledging the pronouncements in FASB 86, I would also like
to suggest that it would not be applicable because we do not
actually sell the software that we developed. We sell or lease
devices which we purchase from a manufacturer that have the
manufacturer's firmware embedded in the device. The device then
utilizes our proprietary software, the Internet, a wireless provider
and a mapping component to monitor our customer's fleet vehicles.
Our software resides on our server; a copy of the software is never
given to our customers as it would be if you bought a Microsoft
Office product. The monitoring service we provide is via the
Internet with communications from the device coming back to our
server. The customer can then log into his account on the server to
determine where his fleet vehicles are.
3) Attached the revised Exhibit 31.1 and the revised Item 8A discussion
for the company's internal controls.
Upon your review of the information submitted and your response, PlanetLink
Communications will file an amended 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Sincerely,
/s/
M. Dewey Bain
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer

Proposed Revised Item 8A
For period ended December 31, 2005
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of disclosure and controls and procedures. As of the end of the
period covered by this Annual Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. However, as a result of
the restatement of the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company has made some
changes in procedures and control. They are as follows:
o The Company has hired an accounting professional to oversee all
financial reporting.
o The Company has also purchased an integrated financial reporting
package which separates different accounting functions such as
accounts receivable, cash disbursements, etc. thus allowing for
greater control as all entries are not recorded as just a
bookkeeping entry. All bank reconciliations are performed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures with any
unusual items being researched. All cash receipts are tracked to
either accounts receivable or non-accounts receivable receipts and
recorded as applicable.
o The Company, at the recommendation of its Board of Directors, has
changed its certified public accounting firm.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There was no change
in our internal controls, which are included within disclosure controls and
procedures, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls.

or other employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's
internal control over financial reporting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
================================================================================
To the Board of Directors
Planetlink Communications, Inc.
Atlanta, Georgia
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Planetlink Communications,
Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Planetlink Communications, Inc.
as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the Unites States of America.
As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, certain errors were made in
the application of accounting principles, resulting in the understatement of the
previously reported net loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $4,754,075.
In addition, these errors in the application of accounting principles also
resulted in the understatement of both previously reported accumulated deficit
and additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2002 of
$7,033,987. These errors were discovered by the management of the Company in its
preparation for the issuance of the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2003. Accordingly the financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 have been restated to correct for these errors.
As further discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, certain errors were
made by the Company in classifying a portion of loans it received from its
current President during the year ended December 31, 2003 as revenue in the
statement of operations for that year. Correction for the misclassification of
loans advanced by the officer resulted in the understatement of the previously
reported net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 by $356,481, of which
$308,438 is attributed to the previously reported revenue for that year being
overstated and operating expenses and interest expense being understated by
$22,375 and $26,668, respectively. In addition, these errors also resulted in an
understatement of previously reported total liabilities at December 31, 2003 by
$356,481 and an understatement of accumulated deficit in the same amount. As
such, the officer's loan payable as now reflected at December 31, 2003, based on
this second restatement of the financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2003, is $307,438 higher than previously reported, and accounts payable and
accrued expenses are $49,043 higher than previously reported. These errors were
discovered by the management of the Company in conjunction with reconciling the
amount due the officer with him in anticipation of The Company paying off the
obligation, and in the Company's preparation for the issuance of the financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
================================================================================
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations,
and is dependent upon the sale of equity securities to provide sufficient
working capital to maintain continuity. These circumstances create substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
