In connection with the registration of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the
"Trust") as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act"), and the issuance of shares by it under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "1933 Act"), we are transmitting herewith Post-Effective Amendment No. 4
under the 1933 Act and Amendment No. 5 under the 1940 Act to the Trust's
Registration Statement on Form N-1A pursuant to Rule 485(b).
This Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement of the
Trust hereby incorporates by reference all of the information set forth in Parts
A and B of Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 under the Securities Act of 1933 and
Amendment No. 3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which was filed on
June 10, 1999. The sole purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment is to continue
to delay the effectiveness of Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 which was

until October 8, 1999.
This firm represented the Trust in connection with the preparation of
the above-referenced Post-Effective Amendment. In accordance with the provisions
