Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Internet
Ventures, Inc. (the "Company") requests the immediate withdrawal of the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, file number 333-89657 together
with all exhibits and amendments thereto (the "Registration Statement"). The

granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement be issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as possible.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the
