Re: Synavant Inc. --
Registration Statement on Form 10
File No. 000-30822
Dear Mr. Duvall:
Synavant Inc. (the "Registrant") respectfully requests
withdrawal of the above-referenced Registration Statement. The Registration
Statement was originally filed on June 9, 2000 and amended on July 26, 2000
and has not been declared effective.
The Registrant is requesting withdrawal of the Registration
Statement because absent such withdrawal the Registration Statement would
automatically become effective on August 8, 2000, 60 days after the initial
filing date. As the Staff has not completed its review of the Registration
Statement, the Registrant desires to prevent the Registration Statement from
becoming effective on such date. As discussed with the Staff, the Registrant
intends to promptly re-file the Registration Statement with the Commission as a
new filing and to have such new filing declared effective as promptly as
practicable thereafter.
Very truly yours,
SYNAVANT INC.
