            Reg. No. 333-114495; File No. 811-21561
            EDGAR Filing of Registration Statement

To the Securities and Exchange Commission:

      An  electronic  ("EDGAR")  filing is hereby  made  pursuant  to Rule 477
under the  Securities  Act of 1933 (the "1933  Act") on behalf of  Oppenheimer
Principal  Protected Trust III (the "Fund"). On September 28, 2004, the Fund's
Pre-Effective  Amendment  No. 1 under the 1933 Act and  Amendment  No. 1 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 to its initial  Registration  Statement was
inadvertently  filed under the incorrect  EDGAR form type 485APOS,  instead of
N1A/A.  This filing is being made to withdraw the 485APOS  filing  incorrectly
made  on  September  28,  2004  (Accession  Number  0000728889-04-0000797).  A
corrected  filing  was made on October 4,  2004.  No  securities  were sold in
connection with this offering.

      If there are any questions, please contact Wayne Miao at 212-323-5039.


Sincerely,

Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust III
