Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-44484
Application of Withdrawal
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the undersigned registrant (the "Registrant") hereby applies for an
Order granting the immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form
S-4, together with all exhibits and amendments thereto, Commission File No.
333-44484 (collectively, the "Registration Statement"). The Registration
Statement was originally filed with the Commission on August 25, 2000.
In light of current market conditions, the Registrant has determined not to
proceed with the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Statement at
this time. The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the
Commission and no securities have been or will be offered or sold under the
Registration Statement.
Accordingly, we hereby respectfully request that an Order granting the
withdrawal of the Registration Statement be issued by the Commission as soon as
reasonably possible. If you have any questions regarding the foregoing
application for withdrawal, please contact Robert A. Rosenbaum or Jonathan B.
Abram at Dorsey & Whitney LLP, legal counsel to the Registrant, at 612-340-2600.
Sincerely,
eFunds Corporation
