File No. 333-175132
 
            
Dear Sir/Madam:
 
Request is hereby made for the acceleration of the effective date of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-175132, to 12:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on August 12, 2011, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
 
We are also aware that:
 
  Should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to a delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
     
  The action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to a delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
     
  The Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
 
       
Very truly yours,

COATES INTERNATIONAL LTD.
