Using the spectral fitting technique we have studied the components contributing to the soft X-ray spectra of four AGN. The selected objects are the Seyfert 1 galaxies: HE 1143-1810, Mkn 110, CTS A08.12 and ESO 359-G19. The high-resolution X-ray spectra analysed were taken with the Reflection Grating Spectrometers on board the XMM-Newton satellite. In contrast to the results for other well-studied Seyfert 1 galaxies, we have found that the spectra of the four galaxies lack of significant absorption features. Hence, there are no signs of high-column-density partially-ionised absorbing material in the vicinity of the active nucleus in these galaxies.
