RE: CHEMCONNECT, INC. (THE "REGISTRANT") AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPANY'S REGISTRATION
STATEMENT ON FORM S-1 (FILE NO. 333-33942)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Registrant hereby requests withdrawal of its Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-33942)(the "Registration Statement")
pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933. In light of unfavorable
market conditions, the Registrant has determined at this time not to effect its
initial public offering pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Company
believes the withdrawal to be consistent with the public interest and the
protection of investors. The Registrant represents that no securities have been
offered or sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
CHEMCONNECT, INC.
/s/ John F. Beasley
