From: WillyWW@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 2:07 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: BOX-SR-BSE-2002-15 Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary Securities and Exchange Commission Dear Mr. Katz, I am writing in support of the proposed Boston Options Exchange. As a retail customer who buys and sells options I am very excited about the opportunity this new exchange will provide, especially as regards to the Price Improvement Period. I believe this will help all retail customers by improving both liquidity and the prices we pay. Thank you for your favorable consideration. Respectfully, William W. Williams willyww@aol.com
