RE:  Request for Withdrawal of S-1 Registration Statement (Filing No. 333-
     41614); Illuminet Holdings Inc. ("Illuminet")

Dear Mr. Minton:

        Please accept this letter as a formal request to withdraw the
above-referenced Registration Statement filed with your office on July 17, 2000.
Due to market conditions, the management of Illuminet has determined it to be in
its best interest to no longer proceed with the registration of the shares
identified in the Registration Statement. Accordingly, no shares have been sold
in connection with this registration, and there is no intention to make any such
sale.

        Please call me at (360) 493-6000 if you have any questions regarding
this matter. Thank you for your time and assistance.

                                Yours very truly,

                                ILLUMINET HOLDINGS INC.
