                              Re: Filing Withdrawal

         Claymore Securities, Inc. ("Claymore") serves as the sponsor and
depositor of the Claymore Unit Investment Trusts. On January 6, 2005, Claymore
filed an initial Registration Statement on Form S-6 for Claymore Unit Investment
Trust, Series 209 (the "Trust"). However, the filing contained the wrong CIK
number for the Trust. Actually, the CIK number provided was for Claymore Unit
Investment Trust, Series 206, a trust that is currently effective and being
offered to the public. Accordingly, please disregard the S-6 filing completed on
January 6, 2005 for CIK 0001308305 for accession number 0000891804-05-000056,
file number 333-121875.

         Thank you for your time and understanding in this matter.
