            Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 333-18653)

                              Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), Dean
Family of Funds (the "Company") hereby requests withdrawal of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 19 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 333-18653)
together with all exhibits and amendments thereto ("Amendment No. 19"), that was
originally filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on June 18, 2004.


Granting this request for withdrawal of Amendment No. 19 is in the interest of
public policy because this registration statement was inadvertently filed with
the Dean Family of Funds instead of with the Unified Series Trust (File No.
333-100654). For this reason, after Amendment No. 19 is withdrawn, the Unified
Series Trust intends to file registration statement on Form N-1A for the
amendment, as was the original intent.

If you have any questions with respect to this request, please call Freddie
Jacobs, Jr., CPA at 317-917-7425 of Unified Fund Services, Inc.

Sincerely,

Dean Family of Funds, Inc.

/s/ Freddie Jacobs, Jr.
