RE: | ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company Registration Statement on Form N-4 Prospectus Title: ING Growth Plus File No. 333-130824 Rule 477 Filing |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned on behalf of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company”) and pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, respectfully requests the withdrawal of its initial Registration Statement on Form N-4 (the “Filing”), File No. 333-130824, filed on 01/03/06 (Accession No. 0000836687-06-000015). This request for withdrawal is being made because the Filing was transmitted under an incorrect Separate Account name and Investment Company Act of 1940 number and an incorrect CIK number. No securities have been, or will be sold under the Filing.
If you have any questions, please call me at (860) 723-2229.
Sincerely,
/s/ J. Neil McMurdie
