Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1
SEC File No. 333-31904
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, we hereby request withdrawal of our Registration Statement on Form S-1
(Registration No. 333-31904), and all exhibits to it, effective immediately. You
have not declared the Registration Statement effective. We are withdrawing the
Registration Statement because we have abandoned our proposed public offering
under the Registration Statement at this time due to market conditions. We have
not, and will not, sell any securities under the Registration Statement.
We further request that, pursuant to Rule 477(c), you include an order
in the file with the date of the granting of the withdrawal for our Registration
Statement in the following manner: "Withdrawn upon the request of the
registrant, the Commission consenting thereto."
If you have any questions, please call either Jeffrey C. Robbins of the
law firm of Messerli & Kramer P.A. at (612) 672-3706 or me at (952) 946-7816.
Very truly yours,
DATALINK CORPORATION
