Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and Variable Annuity-1 Series Account hereby request withdrawal of the above-referenced pre-effective amendment (“Amendment”), which was filed on April 14, 2008 (accession number 0001037155-08-000006).
The Amendment was inadvertently filed electronically as a post-effective amendment on Form Type 485BPOS. The Commission has not declared the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act. Registrant confirms that no securities have been issued or sold in connection with the Amendment. Registrant intends to resubmit the Amendment on Form Type N-4/A as soon as practicable.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter. Please contact me by phone at (303) 737-2013 with any questions.
Sincerely,
