Dear Sir or Madam:

     Pursuant  to Rule 477 of the  Securities  Act of 133,  as  amended,  kindly
withdraw the Form 486APOS filing made on behalf of the Registrant, Accession No.
0000940394-02-000404,  which was  erroneously  submitted to the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission today,  Wednesday,  June 26, 2002 and accepted.  It was our
intent to file under Form  485APOS  and we have now made the  correct  filing on
behalf of the Registrant.

     Please  contact me at (617)  598-8536 or fax number  (617)  338-8054 if you
have any questions or comments concerning the Amendment.

                                Very truly yours,


                                /s/ Jane A. Rudnick
