Re: Forward Funds, Inc., File Nos. 333-37367, 811-8419 (the "Registrant")
Request for Withdrawal of Amendment No. 8 to Registration Statement on
Form N-1A
Dear Ms. Sanders:
On behalf of the Registrant as its counsel, pursuant to Rule 477(a) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we hereby request withdrawal of
Amendment No. 8 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A of the Registrant
which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 1998.
Amendment No. 8 was inadvertently filed under Rule 485(b) instead of Rule
485(a)(1).
Please telephone me if there are any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Dilia M. Caballero
