Re: Application for Withdrawal of Registration
Statement on Form 10 (No. 1-16079) filed on
August 22, 2000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
PracticeWorks, a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), hereby makes
this application to withdraw the Registration Statement on Form 10, File
No. 1-16079, filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
together with all exhibits thereto (the "Registration Statement"). The
Commission has not declared the Registration Statement effective. The
Registrant's grounds for withdrawing the Registration Statement are to prevent
the Registration Statement from automatically becoming effective by lapse of
time within 60 days of the date originally filed pursuant to Section 12(g)(1)
of the Exchange Act before the Registrant has had adequate opportunity to clear
all outstanding comments on the Registration Statement with the Commission.
The Registrant intends to file a new registration statement that addresses all
of the Staff's comments as soon as practicable.
The undersigned, on behalf of the Registrant, respectfully requests
the Commission to grant the application of the Registrant to have the
Registration Statement withdrawn and issue an appropriate order to be included
in the files of the Registration Statement to the effect that the Registration
Statement has been "Withdrawn upon request of the registrant, the Commission
consenting thereto."
Very truly yours,
PracticeWorks, Inc.
