Re: Constellation Funds (File Nos. 033-70958 and 811-08104)

To Whom It May Concern:

On behalf of The Constellation Funds (the "Trust"), we are requesting, pursuant
to Rule 477(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, that the submission made on behalf
of the Trust as Form Type POSAMI (Accession No. 0000950116-04-002952) on October
1, 2004 be withdrawn as it was inadvertently filed under the wrong registrant.
Upon discovery of this mistake, we immediately refiled the registration
statement as a Form Type POSAMI under the correct registrant, Westlakes
Institutional Portfolios, on October 5, 2004. No shares of the Westlakes
Institutional Portfolios were sold between October 1, 2004 and October 5, 2004.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at 484.329.2803 if you have any questions
or comments.

Sincerely,


/s/ John Canning
