Re: Russian Wireless Telephone Company, Inc.
Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form 8-A
Commission File No. 000-22795
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client, Russian Wireless Telephone Company, Inc. (the
"Company"), we filed its above-referenced Registration Statement on Form 8-A
on July 3, 1997. Such registration statement was filed in connection with the
Company's registration of its securities under the Securities Act, pursuant to
a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (SEC File No. 333-24177).
By reason of the fact that the Company is not yet prepared to seek
effectiveness of its SB-2 Registration Statement, I am advising you, on behalf
of the Company, that the Company is hereby withdrawing, effective this date,
its above-referenced Registration Statement on Form 8-A.
If any of the members of the Staff has any questions or comments
regarding the foregoing, he or she should not hesitate to call me at
212-339-5580.
Respectfully yours,
Steven D. Dreyer
