Re: Viventia Biotech Inc. Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement
on Form 20-F (File No. 001-32538)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Riedler:
On June 17, 2005 Viventia Biotech Inc. (the "Company"), filed with the
SEC a registration statement on Form 20-F in connection with its intention to
become listed on the American Stock Exchange.
The Company is no longer pursuing a listing on the American Stock
Exchange at this time. Therefore, the Company requests that its Registration
Statement on Form 20-F be withdrawn.
If you have any questions concerning this request, please call the
undersigned at (212) 880-6079.
Yours truly,
/s/ Daniel M. Miller
