Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), Nam Tai Electronics, Inc., a British Virgin Islands
International Business Company (the "Registrant"), hereby applies for an order
granting the immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form F-3,

Statement was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
July 25, 2003, and was amended by Amendment No. 1 on August 08, 2003.

     In light of current market conditions the Registrant has determined not to
proceed with the public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement. The
Registrant hereby confirms that no securities have been sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement and all activity regarding the proposed public offering
has been discontinued.

     Accordingly, the Registrant respectfully requests that the Commission issue
an order granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement as soon as
possible. The Registrant also requests that all fees paid to the Commission in
connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited to the
Registrant's account for future use in accordance with Rule 457(p) under the
Securities Act.









     In addition to the Registrant, please provide a copy of the order
consenting to the withdrawal of the Registration Statement to our counsel:

     Kevin Keogh

contact Mr. Keogh at (212) 819-8227.


                                        Sincerely,
