     Registration Statement on Form F-3
     File No. 333-103547
     Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477 of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), Nam Tai Electronics, Inc., a British Virgin Islands International
Business Company (the "Registrant"), hereby applies for an order granting the
immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form F-3, file No.
333-103547 (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement was
originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28,
2003, and amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on April 22, 2003 and
Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 on May 16, 2003.

In light of recent and current market conditions, and particularly in light of
the uncertainties associated with the outbreak of SARS, or severe acute
respiratory syndrome, on the stock market, Registrant has determined not to
proceed with the public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement. The
Registrant hereby confirms that no securities have been sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement, and all activity regarding the proposed public offering
has been discontinued.

Accordingly, the Registrant respectfully requests that the Commission issue an
order granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement as soon as possible.
The Registrant also requests in accordance with Rule 457(p) promulgated under
the Act that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of
the Registration Statement be credited for future use for the Registrant's
account.
