REMOVAL OF SECURITIES FROM REGISTRATION

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 6 to the registration statement filed
on Form S-1 (File No. 333-83076) (the "Registration Statement") is being filed
pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, to remove from registration those securities of the Registrant that
were previously registered by the Registration Statement and that were not sold
in the offering.

The operations of the Registrant and MetLife Insurance Company of
Connecticut ("MICC"), both wholly owned subsidiaries of MetLife, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, will be combined through merger (the "Merger"). As a
result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Registrant will
cease, and MICC will remain as the surviving company and will possess all the
rights, duties and obligations of the Registrant, including those relating to
any unsold securities of the Registrant that were previously registered by the
Registration Statement.

Following the Merger, MICC will discontinue sales of any securities of the
Registrant that were previously registered by the Registration Statement, and
will no longer file any amendments to the Registration Statement. Therefore, the
offering is being terminated as of the close of business on December 6, 2007,
and Registrant hereby removes from registration any securities that remain
unsold under the Registration Statement as of that time and date, or such time
and date as this Registration Statement becomes effective.
