Post-Effective Amendment No. 36 on Form N-4 | ||||
| File Nos. 033-87376 and 811-08914 | ||||
| Request for Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment Pursuant to Rule 477 |
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, PHL Variable Insurance Company (the “Company”) hereby respectfully requests the withdrawal of the above-referenced Post-Effective Amendment No. 36, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 21, 2008.
The Post-Effective Amendment was filed in connection with an offering of an optional guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit. The Company has since determined not to undertake offering that particular benefit. No securities were sold in connection with Post-Effective Amendment No. 36.
We appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the undersigned at (860) 403-6625.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Kathleen McGah
Kathleen McGah
