Attention: Office of Edgar Policy, Division of Corporation Finance

Dear Commissioners:

I am Associate General Counsel of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which is
the "Depositor" of Metropolitan Life Separate Account UL (the "Registrant") with
respect to two filings that the Commission accepted for filing as new form N-6
Registration Statements on February 28, 2003: File Nos. 333-103532 and
333-103533.

The Depositor and the Registrant hereby requests that those filings be
withdrawn, because they were transmitted to the Commission as new registration
statements only as a result of clerical errors in the EDGAR submission headers.
As indicated on the facing sheets of the filings themselves (as well as in the
transmittal letters that accompanied the filings), these filings were intended
to be made as post-effective amendments pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the
Securities Act of 1933.


Accordingly, the Depositor and the Registrant have resubmitted these filings
under that rule.

Yours truly,

/s/Christopher P. Nicholas

Christopher P. Nicholas
