RE:   Franklin Global Trust (Registrant)
      File Nos. 333-46996 and 811-10157

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of above-referenced Registrant and pursuant to Rule 477 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (1933 Act), we desire to withdraw, and hereby
request that the Commission withdraw, Post Effective Amendment No. 13 to the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-1A, (the Amendment). The Amendment
was filed with the Commission on May 31, 2006 pursuant to Rule 485(a) under 1933
Act, for the purpose of adding three new classes of shares, Class A, Class C and
Class R, of Franklin International Smaller Companies Growth Fund (the Fund) and
to designate the existing share class of the Fund as "Advisor Class".

The Registrant believes that withdrawal of the Amendment would be consistent
with the public interest and the protection of investors since: 1) the filing
was prepared in contemplation of offering the new classes and designating the
existing class as "Advisor Class"; and 2) no securities were sold for the new
classes and the "Advisor Class" designation was not used in connection with the
offering of the existing class of shares.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Navid Tofigh at (650) 312-3492.

Sincerely,

/s/ Karen L. Skidmore
Karen L. Skidmore
