       Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A

       General

   1.                                                   We note that you may
not be able to continue to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.
                                                        Please disclose the
effects of being delisted from Nasdaq on shareholders who elect not to
                                                        redeem including, for
example, on the stock price and liquidity. Please also clearly
                                                        disclose which Nasdaq
requirements would continue to apply to your company in the
                                                        event you are delisted,
such as the requirement that the initial business combination be
                                                        with a company that had
an aggregate fair market value of 80% of the assets held in the
                                                        trust account. Lastly,
disclose the risk that redemptions in connection with this
                                                        shareholder vote would
further reduce the amount held in the trust and the impact that
                                                        would have upon your
ability to find a business combination.
