Re: GMO Trust (File Nos. 2-98772 and 811-04347; CIK No. 0000772129)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), the registrant, GMO Trust (the "Trust" or "registrant"),
requests that Post-Effective Amendment No. 124 under the Securities Act and
Post-Effective Amendment No. 152 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), to the Trust's Registration Statement filed today on
EDGAR pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act on Form N-1A (Accession
No. 0000950135-06-003687) (this "Amendment"), be withdrawn.

This Amendment relates to the registration and offering of Class III
(C000032211), Class IV (C000032212), Class V (C000032213), and Class VI
(C000032214) Shares of GMO Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Fund (S000011778), a new
series of the Trust (the "Fund"). The registrant is requesting withdrawal of
this Amendment because it was filed in error by our filing agent, Bowne & Co.,
Inc., without the prior approval of the registrant. No shares of the Fund were
sold in connection with the filing of this Amendment.

Please direct any questions you may have with respect to this filing to me
(617-346-7520) or Amy Snyder at Ropes & Gray LLP (617-951-7073).
