Re: Cafe La France, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-18093)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Cafe La France, Inc. (the "Company") hereby requests withdrawal of its
registration statement referenced above regarding a "best efforts" offering
of Common Stock due to current market conditions and lack of interest by
prospective investors.
Also, based on discussions between our counsel and Mr. Edsel Guydon
today, it is the Company's understanding, in view of this request for
withdrawal and the fact that the Company has not sold any securities in the
offering and has not filed a Form 8A, that it is not required to file a Form
10Q which it would otherwise be required to file on June 9, 1997 pursuant to
Section 15d of the Exchange Act and Rule 13a-13(a) thereunder, and that it
will not be subject to any other reporting requirements of Section 15d under
the Exchange Act resulting from the prior effectiveness of its registration
statement upon your approval of this withdrawal request.
Please call Michael F. Sweeney, Esq. or Robert D. Emerson, Esq. at (401)
455-0700 with any questions you may have, and thank you for you assistance in
this matter.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Thomas W. Dejordy
