Dear Mr. Clampitt, Mr. Envall, Mr. West, and Ms. Lubit:
On behalf of our client, Weidai Ltd., a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we are filing this letter in response to the enquiry we received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) dated November 8, 2018, asking us to explain the reason for filing the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) twice on November 7, 2018. Please see below for a description of the events.

On November 7, 2018, at 15:40:38 (EST), the printing company, on behalf of all parties, filed Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 3”). Upon review, Amendment No. 3 was discovered to have been erroneously filed by the printing company due to the fact that it did not reflect certain changes which had already been processed, reviewed and signed-off on by all parties. After this mistake was discovered and in order to correct such mistake, all parties instructed the printing company to file Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on November 7, 2018, at 17:30:33 (EST), in order to replace Amendment No. 3 in its entirety.
For further information regarding these events, we have included as Annex A to this letter the relevant e-mail correspondence with the printing company.
