Re: Application for Withdrawal of Form S-1 Registration Statement
No. 333-37965 (together with all amendments thereof and exhibits
thereto, the "Registration Statement") filed by Snelling and
Snelling, Inc. ("Snelling")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Snelling originally filed the Registration Statement with the Commission
on October 15, 1997. Snelling has determined at this time not to pursue the
initial public offering of equity securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement based upon changed circumstances regarding the securities markets.
Snelling represents to the Commission that no securities have been sold under
the Registration Statement.
Based upon the foregoing and pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act
of 1933, Snelling hereby applies to the Commission for withdrawal of the
Registration Statement, effective immediately.
Please advise our securities counsel, Katherine M. Seaborn (214-999-4924)
or Randall G. Ray (214-999-4544) of any questions.
Sincerely,
SNELLING AND SNELLING, INC.
