Dear Ms. Riley:
We respectfully request that PGI's registration on Form S-1 #333-14879
be withdrawn. There are no plans at this time to go public with our stock, and
no public or private offering or sale of common stock has been made. Presently,
the market conditions do not warrant a public offering.
A decision was made by management to raise ten million in capital,
privately, through a convertible preferred stock offering. As noted in the
registration, the Initial Public Offering was a sale of common stock. The
preferred stock offering was closed in March, 1998. Attachment A is a list of
the participants in the private offering. As you can see, ten were corporate
shareholders and the remainder were officers or directors of PGI, Inc., previous
preferred shareholders of PGI, Inc. or employees of previous corporate
shareholders. If you have any questions or need additional assistance, please
contact me at (703) 312-9148.
Sincerely,
Production Group International
