Dear Sir or Madam:

         Pursuant to Rule 461 of  Regulation C of the Rules and  Regulations  of
the Securities and Exchange  Commission  promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended,  Parke  Bancorp,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  hereby  requests the
above-referenced  Registration  Statement be declared effective on April 7, 2005
at 10:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as practicable.

         Furthermore, the Company hereby acknowledges that:

o        if the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority,
         declares the filing  effective,  it does not foreclose  the  Commission
         from taking any action with respect to the filing;

o        the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
         authority,  in  declaring  the filing  effective,  does not relieve the
         Company from its full  responsibility  for the adequacy and accuracy of
         the disclosure in the filing; and

o        the Company  may not assert this action as a defense in any  proceeding
         initiated by the Commission or any person under federal securities laws
         of the United States.

                                            Parke Bancorp, Inc.
