Re: DEJA.COM, INC. REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1
FILED JUNE 17, 1999
FILE NO. 333-80853
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
Deja.com, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby applies to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") for withdrawal of the above referenced
Registration Statement, effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest
practical date. The Registration Statement was filed through the Commission's
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system on June 17, 1999.
The Registration Statement was filed almost a year ago. The Registration
Statement has not been updated since such filing. The market conditions are
such that an underwritten public offering of Registrant's common stock will
not be consummated. Therefore, the Registrant will not seek to have the
Registration Statement declared effective and hereby requests that it should
be withdrawn. The Registrant has not offered or sold any securities pursuant
to the above referenced Registration Statement. The Registrant understands
that the filing fee for the Registration Statement will not be returned to it.
Please notify us of the consent of the Commission for withdrawal of the
Registration Statement by contacting the undersigned at the above address, with
a copy to David W. Pollak, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 101 Park Avenue, New
York, New York 10178.
Please feel free to contact the undersigned at 212-481-4920 if you have any
questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Deja.com, Inc.
