Application for Withdrawal of
Registration Statement on Form S-1
(SEC Reg. No. 333-10425)
Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20005
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned, Influence, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the
"Registrant"), hereby applies to withdraw the Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (SEC Reg. No. 333-10425), as originally
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on August 19, 1996 (the "Registration Statement").
The reason for the Registrant's application of withdrawal is
that, based in part on the advice of the Registrant's
underwriters as to prevailing market conditions, the Company has
determined that proceeding with the public offering at this time
is inadvisable.
No securities have been issued or sold under the
Registration Statement. The Registrant requests that the
Commission consent to this application on the grounds that the
withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the
public interest and protection of investors, as contemplated by
Rule 477 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933.
Should the staff of the Commission have further questions
regarding this application, please do not hesitate to contact our
counsel, Paul I. Rachlin, Esq., of Arnold & Porter, at
(212) 715-1172, or the undersigned at (415) 421-5600.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned hereby makes this
application to withdraw the above-referenced Registration
Statement, and respectfully requests that the Commission enter an
order confirming and approving the same.
Sincerely,
INFLUENCE, INC.
