RE:    ALCAN ALUMINIUM LIMITED                                
     AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-4
FILED ON DECEMBER 23, 1999                      
COMMISSION FILE NOS. 333-87375, 1-3677          
     -----------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Duvall:                                                                

   Alcan and Pechiney have determined not to proceed with the combination of
their respective businesses at this time.  This decision was made after the     
European Commission indicated that it would not approve the combination unless  
the combined company agreed to divest assets relating to its manufacture of     
rolled products.  The companies concluded that the required divestments would   
seriously undermine the strategic viability of the combined company's rolled    
products business in Europe and its ability to serve its customers in that      
region.                                                                         

     Alcan has not made any offers or sales of securities in connection with the
above-referenced registration statement and hereby requests that the            
registration statement be withdrawn pursuant to Rule 259 under the Securities   
Act of 1933.                                                                    

Yours truly,                                                                    

/s/ Roy Millington
