Dear Mr. Ruckman:
As we discussed, the above-referenced initial filing was made on February 21, 2008 (accession number is 0001193125-08-035383). The Flexible Premium Variable Annuity - O version is substantially similar to the Flexible Premium Variable Annuity - C product. We have already provided under separate cover, a black-lined comparison of the two products to hi-lite all the differences.
The following changes are the main differences in the above referenced filing:
| • | Added the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit and the Double Enhanced Death Benefit (both death benefits were part of the template filing in December 2007). |
| • | Changes in the available Investment Choices. |
We hereby request Selective Review pursuant to SEC Release No.: 33-6510 (February 15, 1984) for the above-referenced Flexible Premium Variable Annuity – O product filing.
This letter will also be filed as a correspondence filing via EDGAR.
| Very truly yours, |
| Transamerica Life Insurance Company |
