RE: SENSUS DRUG DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
FILE NO. 333-60055
WITHDRAWAL OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM 8-A
Dear Mr. Riedler:
Sensus Drug Development Corporation (the "Registrant") hereby requests the
immediate withdrawal of the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A
under Section 12(g) (the "Form 8-A"), which was filed with the Commission on
October 6, 1998, because the Registrant does not anticipate that its
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-60055) will become effective until
after December 5, 1998, the date upon which the Form 8-A will automatically
become effective.
The undersigned is unable to anticipate when a new Registration Statement on
Form 8-A under Section 12(g) will be filed with the Commission.
I will contact you tomorrow to confirm that the Form 8-A was actually withdrawn.
Please contact me at the number above if you have any questions or problems.
Sincerely,
/s/ Matthew W. Sonsini
