          File No. 033-52272 and 811-07170
          Accession # 0000898430-01-500868

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The purpose of this letter is to request that the Form N-1/A for the TCW
Galileo Funds, Inc. filed on June 4, 2001 (Accession # 0000898430-01-500868) be
withdrawn from the SEC's database.

     We inadvertently filed the document as a Form N-1/A.  The filing should
have been designated a Form 485 A pos.  We respectfully, request that the SEC
withdraw the filing made on June 4, 2001 (Accession # 0000898430-01-500868).  A
new filing with the correct form type will be made tomorrow.

     Please call me at (213) 244-0290 with any questions or comments regarding
this matter.  We appreciate your attention to this matter.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   /s/ Philip K. Holl
