Re: Powerize.com, Inc. (the "Company")
Form S-1 Registration Statement (File No. 333-80055)
(the "Registration Statement")
Gentlemen:
On behalf of the Company and pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), we hereby respectfully request
that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") grant an Order of
immediate withdrawal of the Registration Statement and all exhibits and
amendments thereto filed with the Commission under the Act.
The Registration Statement was originally filed with the Commission on June 4,
1999. No securities have been sold under the Registration Statement. Because of
market conditions, the Company does not currently intend to proceed with a
public offering of its Common Stock. Accordingly, we hereby request an Order
granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement be issued by the
Commission as soon as possible. Please send a copy of the Order via facsimile to
the attention of Wm. David Chalk and send a copy via U.S. Mail to Wm. David
Chalk, Piper Marbury Rudnick & Wolfe LLP, 36 South Charles Street, Baltimore, MD
21201-3018.
Please direct any comments or questions regarding the above matter to the
undersigned at (410) 576-3135.
Very truly yours,
PIPER MARBURY RUDNICK & WOLFE LLP
/s/ Wm. David Chalk
