Attention:   Mr. John Saia

             RE:     Request for Withdrawal of S-3 Registration Statement
                     (Filing No. 333-76603); Florafax International, Inc.
                     ("Florafax")

Dear Mr. Saia:

     On behalf of our client, Florafax, please accept this letter as Florafax's
formal request to withdraw the above-referenced Registration Statement which
was filed with your office on April 20, 1999.  For your information, management
of Florafax has determined that it would be in Florafax's best interests to
postpone indefinitely registration of the shares identified on such S-3. Please
call me directly at (210) 271-1700 if you have any questions regarding this
matter.

     Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

                                             Yours very truly,

                                             CAUTHORN HALE HORNBERGER
                                             FULLER SHEEHAN & BECKER, INC.
