Re: Termination of Exchange Act Registration of the
Common Stock of Haverfield Corporation
-----------------------------------------------
Dear Sir/Madam:
On behalf of RCSB Financial, Inc. ("RCSB"), submitted herewith
for filing is one conformed copy of a certification on Form 15 with
respect to the termination of registration under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), of RCSB's common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock").
On October 3, 1997, RCSB merged with Charter-Michigan Bancorp, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Charter One Financial, Inc. ("Charter One"),
with Charter-Michigan as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). As a
result of the Merger, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (other than treasury
shares, and certain other shares) was converted into the right to receive
.91 shares of the common stock of Charter One, and cash in lieu of any
fractional shares.
In light of the fact that the corporate existence of RCSB has
ceased, please accelerate the termination of registration under the
Exchange Act of the Common Stock to the earliest possible date.
Very truly yours,
/S/ Michael S. Sadow
