              REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3
              FILE NO. 333-36496 (THE "REGISTRATION STATEMENT")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 7-Eleven,
Inc. (the "Company") hereby requests to withdraw the Registration Statement,

Statement.

If you have any questions about this matter, please let me know.

                                        Sincerely,



                                        Bryan F. Smith, Jr.
