Dear Mr. Kronforst:

I am writing you on behalf of Jabil Circuit, Inc. (“Jabil”) in connection with your letter dated February 29, 2008. I am sending you this letter as a follow up to a voicemail that I left for Matthew Crispino earlier today.

Pursuant to prior correspondence, Jabil indicated it would file its response letter by today. However, in order to make a more complete response to the Staff, Jabil has requested an additional week to send its response.

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

Very truly yours,
HOLLAND & KNIGHT, LLP
