Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund (the "Registrant") hereby requests the withdrawal of the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2008 by First Trust Exchange-Traded AlphaDEX(R) Fund on behalf of its series, First Trust Small Cap Core AlphaDEX(R) Fund (the "Fund") (Accession No. 0001445546-08-000461).

Sincerely,
