Request
for Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration No.

Dear Ms.
Barros:
The
undersigned Registrant hereby makes application, pursuant to paragraph (a) of
Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to withdraw
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC
File No. 333-157494), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) on June 12, 2009.
Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 was filed solely for the purpose of converting the existing
registration statement to Form S-3 to allow US12OF to incorporate by reference
its periodic and current reports under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. In order to comply with regulations promulgated by the National
Futures Association, the Registrant has included updated performance data for it
and for the other public funds managed by its general partner as of a more
recent date. Therefore, following the withdrawal of the June 12, 2009
Post-Effective Amendment, The Registrant will file Post-Effective Amendment
No. 2 to the Registration Statement.
No
securities were sold in connection with Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 filed on
June 12, 2009.
If you
have any questions regarding this application, please contact James M. Cain,
Esq. of Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP at (202) 383-0180.
Sincerely,
/s/ Howard
