Re: AVTEAM, INC.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client AVTEAM, Inc. (the "Company"), we hereby request
that the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (the
"Registration Statement"), be withdrawn pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. None of the Company's Shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share, covered by the Registration Statement have
been offered or sold.
Because of unfavorable market conditions, the Company and Dillon, Read
& Co. Inc. and Alex, Brown & Sons Incorporated, the underwriters, decided on
August 22, 1996, that the offering and sale of the Common Stock pursuant to the
Registration Statement be terminated and the Registration Statement be
withdrawn.
Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Michael Hoffman
