Re:	Jabil Circuit, Inc.
	Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007
	File No. 001-14063

Dear Mr. Kronforst:

I am writing you on behalf of Jabil Circuit, Inc. (“Jabil”) in connection with your letter dated February 29, 2008 (the “Comment Letter”). I am sending you this letter at the direction of Matthew Crispino in response to voice mails he and I have exchanged earlier today.

The Comment Letter requested that Jabil either provide a response within 10 business days or a notice of when it would provide a response. As I mentioned to Mr. Crispino, because Jabil needs to gather certain information to respond to the Comment Letter, Jabil will need a brief amount of additional time. Mr. Crispino suggested two additional two weeks, which Jabil currently believes should be more than sufficient. Jabil hopes to send a response as soon as next week.

Please let me know if you have any questions concerning the foregoing.

Very truly yours,
HOLLAND & KNIGHT, LLP.
