Re:	Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (the “Applicant”)
	Request for Withdrawal of Application for an Order Pursuant to Sections 6(c) and 17(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940
	File No. 812-14673

 

Dear Mr. Zaruba,

 

The above-referenced Application was inadvertently filed on EDGAR separately for the Applicant, rather than a single application being filed for all five applicants to the above-referenced Application. The Application was thus assigned five separate application file numbers. Accordingly, we respectfully request that the Application filed under file number 812-14673 be withdrawn. The Application will remain filed under file number 812-14670, and the Applicant will be added to such file number upon the filing of an amendment to the Application.

 

Sincerely,
/s/Elliot J. Gluck
