                THE COMPANY'S REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1 (FILE NO.
                333-51261).

Dear Mr. Ferraro:

        In light of the Company's shortfall in revenue for the quarter ended
June 26, 1998, the Company hereby requests withdrawal of its Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 51261) pursuant to Rule 477 of the
Securities Act of 1933. The Company does not believe withdrawal to be
inconsistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.

        Thank you for your assistance.

                                       Sincerely,

                                       CHOLESTECH CORPORATION
