Sub-Advisor&#8217;s order execution policy (the &#8220;</font><u><font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal;">Order Execution Policy</font></u><font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal;">&#8221;). The
Advisor confirms that it has read and understood, and consents to, the Order
Execution Policy. In particular, the Advisor consents to: (i) the Sub-Advisor
trading through brokers/counterparties and/or outside of a Trading Venue (as
defined in the FCA Rules), and (ii) some or all orders resulting from the Sub-
Advisor&#8217;s decisions to deal on the Advisor&#8217;s behalf, or received from the
Advisor, to be placed with an affiliated company, who will act as agent for the
purpose of executing such orders in accordance with the Order Execution Policy.
Subject to the other provisions of this paragraph, in placing orders with
brokers and dealers, the Sub-Advisor will attempt to obtain the best price and
the most favorable execution of its orders in accordance with the Order
Execution Policy. In placing orders, the Sub-Advisor will consider the experience
and skill of the firm&#8217;s securities traders as well as the firm&#8217;s financial
responsibility and administrative efficiency. Consistent with this obligation,
the Sub-Advisor may select brokers on the basis of the research, statistical
and pricing services they provide to the Trust and other clients of the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor. Information and research received from such brokers will be
in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be performed by
the Sub-Advisor hereunder. A commission paid to such brokers may be higher than
that which another qualified broker would have charged for effecting the same
transaction, provided that the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such
commission is reasonable in terms either of the transaction or the overall
responsibility of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor to the Trust and their other
clients and that the total commissions paid by the Trust will be reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the Trust over the long-term. In no instance, however,
will the Trust&#8217;s securities be purchased from or sold to the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor or any affiliated person thereof, except to the extent permitted by
the SEC or by applicable law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of
the 1940 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other
applicable provisions of law, the Sub-Advisor may select brokers and dealers
with which it or the Trust is affiliated;</font></h3>

brokers or dealers affiliated with it may find themselves in a position to buy
for certain of their brokerage clients (each an &#8220;</font><u><font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal;">Account</font></u><font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal;">&#8221;) securities
which the Sub-Advisor&#8217;s investment advisory clients wish to sell, and to sell
for certain of their brokerage clients securities which advisory clients wish
to buy. Where one of the parties is an advisory client, the Advisor or the
affiliated broker or dealer cannot participate in this type of transaction
(known as a cross transaction) on behalf of an advisory client and retain
commissions from both parties to the transaction without the advisory client&#8217;s
consent. This is because in a situation where the Sub-Advisor is making the
investment decision (as opposed to a brokerage client who makes his own
investment decisions), and the Sub-Advisor or an affiliate is receiving
commissions from one or both sides of the transaction, there is a potential
conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities on the Sub- Advisor&#8217;s
part regarding the advisory client. The SEC has adopted a rule under the
Advisers Act which permits the Sub-Advisor or its affiliates to participate on
behalf of an Account in agency cross transactions if the advisory client has
given written consent in advance. By execution of this Agreement, the Trust
authorizes the Sub-Advisor or its affiliates to participate in agency cross
transactions involving an Account. The Trust may revoke its consent at any time
by written notice to the Sub-Advisor.</font></h1>

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees/Directors of
BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust, BlackRock
Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock
Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Enhanced
Global Dividend Trust, BlackRock Enhanced International
Dividend Trust, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust,
BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust,
BlackRock Science and Technology Trust, BlackRock
Science and Technology Trust II, and BlackRock Utilities,
Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust, BlackRock
Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock Enhanced
Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Enhanced Global Dividend
Trust, BlackRock Enhanced International Dividend Trust,
BlackRock Health Sciences Trust, BlackRock Science and
Technology Trust, BlackRock Science and Technology Trust
II, and BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power
Opportunities Trust (the "Funds") as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2019, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), we considered the Funds' internal control over
financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding
securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for
the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-
CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The management of the Funds is responsible for establishing
and maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists
when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a
timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the company's annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis.

Our consideration of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in
internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no
deficiencies in the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be a material weakness, as
defined above, as of December 31, 2019.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees/Directors of the Funds
and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
