Re: | CTI Industries, Inc. |
Request for Withdrawal of: | |
Post Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 | |
Filed on July 9, 2008 | |
File No. 333-31969 |
Ladies and Gentleman:
CTI Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby requests the withdrawal of Post Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-31969) as erroneously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on EDGAR on July 9, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”).
We are requesting a withdrawal solely due to the fact that the Registration Statement was filed under the wrong file number. We believe that such withdrawal is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors. The omission was not detected until after the Registration Statement was filed. A corrected Registration Statement will be filed via EDGAR with the correct file number (333-139715).
Sincerely,
/s/ Stephen M. Merrick
Stephen M. Merrick
Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer
