    Re:  Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of Connecticut
         Form S-1 Registration Statement
         Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 under the Securities Act of 1933
         File No. 333-156846
         ---------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Sir or Madam:

         On behalf of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"),
transmitted herewith for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("Commission"), pursuant to the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and Rule 101(a) of Regulation S-T, is
a conformed electronic format copy of Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 (the
"Amendment") to the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 under
the 1933 Act with respect to the MetLife Target Maturity deferred annuity
contracts issued by MICC which have a market value adjustment feature. The
Amendment is marked to show the differences between it and Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to the above-referenced Registration Statement filed on
April 10, 2009 ("Prior Amendment").

         The purposes of the Amendment are to (i) include the financial
statements required by Form S-1; and (ii) make minor conforming changes.

         MICC requests, pursuant to Section 8(c) of the 1933 Act, that the
Commission declare the Amendment effective April 30, 2010, or as soon
thereafter as practicable.

         We are providing the Commission staff a courtesy copy of the Amendment,
marked to show the differences between it and the Prior Amendment.

         This transmission contains conformed signature pages and powers of
attorney, the manually signed originals of which are maintained at MICC's
offices.

         Please contact the undersigned at 202-778-9886, Andras P. Teleki at
202-778-9477, or Brian M. Johnson at 202-778-9296 with any questions or
comments.

                                             Sincerely,


                                             /s/ Diane E. Ambler
                                             -------------------
