Re: Telscape International, Inc. -- Registration Statement on Form S-1
filed on July 31, 1998 (File No. 333-60271)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Telscape International, Inc. (the "Company") hereby requests to withdraw,
pursuant to Rule 477, the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed
on July 31, 1998 (File No. 333-60271). This request is being made because the
Company believes that it is not in the best interests of the Company or its
stockholders, in light of the current condition of the U.S. debt security
markets, to issue the Company's debt securities to the public at the present
time.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Todd M. Binet

Chief Financial Officer
