Dear Mr. Rosenberg:

This will acknowledge receipt of the comment letter dated as of August 4, 2006,
which was received by PXRE Group Ltd. via facsimile on August 7, 2006.

In light of the scope and complexity of the Staff's comments and due to the
vacation schedules of our actuarial and finance staffs, we expect to provide our
response no later than August 31, 2006.

Please call me at 441-278-3727 if the foregoing presents any problems.



Sincerely,
