Re: MFA Mortgage Investments, Inc.
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3
Filed November 5, 2007 under EDGAR submission type S-3/A
File No. 333-146819
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, MFA Mortgage Investments, Inc. (the
“Company”) hereby respectfully
requests withdrawal of its post-effective amendment no. 1 filed on
November 5,
2007 because it was inadvertently filed under the incorrect EDGAR submission
type S-3/A rather than POSASR. The post-effective amendment no. 1 has been
re-filed today under the correct EDGAR submission type POSASR. No securities
have been sold pursuant to the registration statement which registered the
offering.
Sincerely,
MFA MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS, INC.
