RE: GENERAL ROOFING SERVICES, INC.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of General Roofing Services, Inc. (the "Company"), we hereby
request that the Company's Form S-1 Registration Statement, as amended (File
No. 333-53641) (the "Registration Statement"), be withdrawn pursuant to Rule
477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. None of the
Company's shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), covered by the Registration Statement have been offered or sold.
Because of unfavorable market conditions, the Company and The
Robinson-Humphrey Company, LLC, BancAmerica Robertson Stephens and Raymond
James & Associates, Inc., the co-managing underwriters for the offering of the
Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement, have decided that the
offering and sale of the Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement be
terminated and the Registration Statement be withdrawn.
Please contact the undersigned at (305) 789-8985 if you have any questions
regarding the foregoing.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Andrew Hulsh
