  On
        April
        25, 2007, the Audit Committee of Mercer International Inc. (the "Company")
        dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as its independent registered
        chartered accounting firm, effective May 10, 2007.
  The
        reports of D&T on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the
        fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion
        or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
        audit scope or accounting principle.
  There
        were no disagreements with D&T on any matter of accounting principles or
        practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure during
        the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and through April 25, 2007,
        which disagreements, if not resolved to D&T's satisfaction, would have
        caused D&T to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
        its report on the Company's financial statements for such years.
  There
        were no reportable events pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during
        the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and through April 25,
        2007.
  Attached
        as Exhibit 16 is a letter from D&T addressed to the Securities and Exchange
        Commission stating whether or not D&T concurs with the statements made above
        by the Company.
