Re:      CitiFunds Premium Trust (filing relates only to Citi Premium Liquid
         Reserves) (File Nos. 33-28844 and 811-5812)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        On behalf of our client, CitiFunds Premium Trust (the "Trust"), we
request the withdrawal of the filing of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 16 to
the Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Securities Act") on October 18, 2001, accession number
0000950156-01-500427, as the filing is duplicative of a filing submitted earlier
on that same date. This filing on EDGAR form type AW replaces and supercedes
the filing on EDGAR form type RW, dated October 19, 2001, accession number
0000950156-01-500438.

        Please call Mari Wilson at 617-951-8381 or the undersigned at
617-951-8029 with any questions relating to this request.

                                     Sincerely,

                                     /s/ Michelle R. Kohlmeier

                                     Michelle R. Kohlmeier
