Re:  Columbus Energy Corp. ("Registrant")
     Registration Statement on Form S-2
     File No. 333-19643

Gentlemen:

Pursuant  to  Rule  477(a)  of the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  the  undersigned
Registrant  hereby requests  withdrawal of the above  Registration  Statement on
Form S-2. The  Registrant  has  determined  to request  withdrawal  because of a
recent  decline  in the  market  price of the  Registrant's  common  stock and a
subsequent  determination by its Board of Directors that the registration  would
not be in the best interests of its current stockholders. None of the securities
covered by the registration statement have been offered or sold.

Please call me if you have any questions regarding this withdrawal request.

                                            Yours very truly,

                                            COLUMBUS ENERGY CORP.

                                            /s/ Harry A. Trueblood, Jr.
