File No. 333-78415
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Act of 1933, Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. hereby applies for an order
granting the immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-78415), together with all exhibits. The Registration Statement was
originally filed with the Commission on May 14, 1999.
Pursuant to the Registration Statement, Nu Skin Enterprises proposed to
register certain shares of its Class A Common Stock, $.001 par value per share,
for issuance to the public. Nu Skin Enterprises, upon consultation with the
underwriters, has decided not to proceed with the offering at this time. No
securities have been sold under the Registration Statement and all activity in
pursuit of the offering has been discontinued.
Nu Skin Enterprises requests that the Commission issue an order
granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement effective as soon as
possible.
Sincerely,
Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc.
