Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Hartford Life Insurance Company and Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company and the above-referenced Separate Accounts, we are requesting withdrawal of the 485(a) Post-Effective Amendments to the above-referenced registration statements on Form N-4, pursuant to Rule 477(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), as well as the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”).
The post-effective amendments were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and accepted on August 28, 2008 (Accession Numbers: 0001104659-08-055836, 0001104659-08-055832, 0001104659-08-055835, 0001104659-08-055833 and 0001104659-08-055837).
The post-effective amendments have not yet become effective under the 1933 Act and were filed with the intent to incorporate exchange offers that would have been made available to eligible client segments as appropriate. No securities have been sold in connection with these amendments.
If you have any questions or comments with respect to these filings, please do not hesitate to contact me at 860-843-1491 or, in my absence, Christen Young at 860-843-8470.
Very truly yours,
/s/Richard J. Wirth |
