Re: Sithe Asia Holdings Ltd.- Form U-57 Amendment No. 1
---------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Sithe Asia Holdings Ltd. ("Sithe Asia"), on behalf of The Cogeneration
Public Company Limited, Thai Cogeneration Company Limited, and MTP Cogeneration
Company Limited, respectfully requests to withdraw its Form U-57 Amendment No.
1, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19,
2000 (CIK 0001130157). Sithe Asia is requesting withdrawal of this submittal
because it was filed under an incorrect CIK number. Sithe Asia submitted the
Amendment No. 1 under the correct CIK number on January 10, 2001.
If you have any questions with regard to this letter, please call the
undersigned at (202) 637-2216.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Jared W. Johnson
