Attn: Patrick O'Leary
Re: Premiere Technologies, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-3
Registration No. 333-52363
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
above-referenced registrant, Premiere Technologies, Inc. ("Premiere"), hereby
requests the Commission's consent to withdraw the above-referenced registration
statement (the "Registration Statement").
This request is made because the selling shareholders listed in the
prospectus that forms a part of the Registration Statement no longer have
contractual registration rights and, as a result, the offering is no longer
necessary. Premiere believes that withdrawal of the Registration Statement is
consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors because the
Registration Statement was never declared effective and no offers or sales were
ever made in reliance on the prospectus that forms a part of the Registration
Statement. Accordingly, Premiere respectfully requests that the Commission grant
its request to withdraw the Registration Statement.
If you have any questions or comments about the foregoing, please call
our attorney, Adam V. Battani of Alston & Bird LLP, at (404) 881-7000.
Sincerely,
/s/ Boland T. Jones
