Pre-Effective Registration Statement on Form S-4
(Commission File No. 333-78397)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
Information Architects Corporation ("IA") hereby applies for withdrawal of the
above-referenced registration statement on Form S-4 originally filed with the
Commission on May 13, 1999.
IA requests such withdrawal because IA and Data Systems Network
Corporation have terminated their planned business combination that was the
subject of the registration statement. IA confirms that no securities of IA have
been issued or sold pursuant to the registration statement.
IA respectfully requests that the Commission consent to the withdrawal of the
registration statement, effective as of the earliest possible date.
Very truly yours,
INFORMATION ARCHITECTS CORPORATION
