GENEREX BIOTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION March 7, 2005 Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Generex Biotechnology Corporation Request for Withdrawal of Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement On Form S-3 filed on January 21, 2005 (File No. 333-121456) Accession No. 000950116-05-000234 Ladies and Gentlemen: Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Generex Biotechnology Corporation (the "Company") requests the withdrawal of the Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-121456) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2005. This Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement was inadvertently submitted under the wrong SEC file number. The amendment should have been filed as a pre-effective amendment to Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-121309. The Company is filing a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-121309) on or about the time of this letter, and will request by separate acceleration request effectiveness of that post-effective amendment. If you have any questions regarding this request for withdrawal, please do not hesitate to contact Gary A. Miller of Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, our outside counsel, at 215-851-8472.
