  Re: Withdrawal of Fulton Financial Corporation’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-189488)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of Fulton Financial Corporation (the “Company”), the undersigned hereby respectfully requests that the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-189488), filed on June 20, 2013, including exhibits (the “Registration Statement”), be withdrawn from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

The Company requests that the Commission consent to the withdrawal of the Registration Statement on the grounds that the Company determined not to pursue the public offering to which the Registration Statement related and now intends to file an updated registration statement on Form S-3. The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission and no securities have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. As such, withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors. The Company requests that the withdrawal of the Registration Statement be effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest practicable date hereafter.

The Company acknowledges that no refund will be made for fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. However, the Company requests that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited for future use should the Company proceed with the filing of a subsequent registration statement meeting the requirements of Rule 457(p) under the Act.
