Re: Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-65443; Original Filing
    Date 8-Oct-1998

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This letter is being written to request withdrawal of the Registration
Statement, pursuant to Form RW, Registration Number 333-65443 originally
filed on 8-Oct-1998 (the "Registration Statement") by Metalclad Corporation
(the "Company").

     The reason for withdrawal is that the passage of time has obviated the
need for registration.  No sales have been made or will be made under the
registration statement.

Very truly yours,

   /s/Grant S. Kesler

Grant S. Kesler, President
Metalclad Corporation
