Re: Beverage International Group, Ltd. (the "Company")
Form 8-A (filed electronically September 25, 1996) ("Form 8-A")
Accession Number: 0000897101-96-000820
Dear Mr. Underhill:
On behalf of the Company, we respectfully request that the Form 8-A
filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September
25, 1996, be withdrawn from consideration. The withdrawal is required due to the
delay in effectiveness of the Company's registration statement due to changes in
the market and a change in the offering. It is our understanding that this
letter of notification will suffice as a withdrawal so as to prevent the Form
8-A from going effective.
We understand that the Company must file a new Form 8-A in connection
with the effectiveness of its Registration Statement on Form 5B-2 (SEC File No.
33-99974-10) which will become effective subsequent to November 24, 1996. If
there is anything further to be done in order to effectively withdraw the Form
8-A currently on file, please contact the undersigned at 612-340-5572.
Sincerely,
Stephen J. Dietrich
