Registration Statement on Form S-1
(File No. 333-88567)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Formus Communications, Inc. (the "Company"), I hereby withdraw the
above-captioned Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") pursuant
to Rules 477 and 478(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), and respectfully request the Commission consent to such withdrawal.
The Company is seeking this withdrawal because a change in the senior management
of the Company does not make a public offering of the Company's securities
feasible at this time.
Sincerely,
/s/ Bernard G. Dvorak
Bernard G. Dvorak
Chief Financial Officer
