     Re:  Application for Withdrawal of Registration  Statement on Form S-4
          File No. 333-69142

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In accordance with Rule 477(a)  promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended,  our  client,  The  Profit  Recovery  Group  International,  Inc.  (the
"Registrant"),   hereby  requests  immediate   withdrawal  of  its  Registration
Statement on Form S-4, File No.  333-69142,  together with all exhibits  thereto
(the "Registration Statement").  The Registration Statement was originally filed
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the  "Commission") on September 7,
2001.

The Registrant is requesting such  withdrawal  because it is the position of the
Commission's  staff that  registration  of the shares of common stock covered by
the Registration  Statement cannot be registered on the Registration  Statement.
The Registration Statement was not declared effective by the Commission,  and no
securities were sold under the Registration Statement.

The Registrant  further requests that the Commission consent to this application
on the grounds that the withdrawal of the  Registration  Statement is consistent
with the public  interest and the protection of investors,  as  contemplated  by
paragraph (a) of Rule 477.

Upon the grant of the  Commission's  consent to the requested  withdrawal of the
Registration  Statement,  please return a dated copy of the order  granting such
withdrawal to the undersigned by facsimile at (404) 873-8623.

If you have any questions  regarding the foregoing  application  for withdrawal,
please  contact me at (404)  873-8622  or Anthony L.  Duncan at (404)  873-8150.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        ARNALL GOLDEN GREGORY LLP
