Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, Columbia River
Resources Inc. hereby respectfully requests the consent of the Securities and
Exchange Commission to withdraw the above-referenced registration statement. We
have decided to make this application because we believe that it would not be
advisable to proceed with the offering contemplated in the registration
statement under current market conditions.
We believe that the withdrawal of the registration statement is
consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, especially
considering that no securities have been sold in the offering.

please call the undersigned at (604) 688-1163 or Herbert Ono, Esq., of Clark,
Wilson, at (604) 643-3140/ fax: (604) 687-6314. Clark, Wilson has recently

Yours truly,
