Commissioners:

On May 5, 2017 the Initial Registration Statement was filed on Form N-4. The Registration Statement was declared effective on August 27, 2018. Amendments to the above referenced Registration Statement have also been subsequently filed, as referenced above. The purpose for the Registration Statement was to register a new product offered by the Registrant. However, it has been determined that this product will not be offered and no sales have been made, therefore we are hereby requesting withdrawal of the previously accepted Registration Statement under Form Type RW and pursuant to Rule 477.

The Registrant and the Separate Account respectfully request that an order be issued granting their request for withdrawal of the Registration Statement as soon as is practicable.

Please contact the undersigned at (908) 763-2888 if you have any questions or comments.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Rebecca Malanga
