                               ------------------

     Set out below are responses to oral comments received from Alison White of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") staff on April 13th and
15th, 2010 relating to Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 (the "Amendment) under the
Securities Act of 1933 of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the
Commission by MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MetLife") on April 8,
2010 relating to the MVA feature of the MetLife Retirement Account deferred
variable annuity contracts ("MRA").

1.  STAFF COMMENT:

On page 8 of the prospectus in the Amendment, please move to the bottom of the
page the two footnotes that currently appear at the end of the fee table labeled
"Contract Owner Transaction Expenses."

     RESPONSE:

Comment complied with. The two footnotes have been moved to the bottom of the
page as requested. See page 8 of the prospectus in Post-Effective Amendment No.
6 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Prospectus").

2.   STAFF COMMENT:

On page 8 of the prospectus in the Amendment, please clarify in the fee table
labeled "Contract Owner Transaction Expenses" whether a contract owner could be
assessed both a withdrawal charge and the liquidity benefit charge for a single
transaction.

     RESPONSE:

Comment complied with. Disclosure has been added to the beginning of footnote 2
to the "Contract Owner Transaction Expenses" table stating that the withdrawal
charge can apply only during the Accumulation Period, which is parallel to the
disclosure in




the same table stating that the liquidity benefit charge can apply only during
the Annuity Period. See page 8 of the Prospectus.

3.   STAFF COMMENT:

On page 9 of the prospectus in the Amendment, please conform the fee table
labeled "Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" to the new requirements for fee
tables in Form N-1A. It is the SEC staff's position that fee tables for
underlying fund fees and expenses in Form N-4 may not contain any footnotes that
are not explicitly contemplated by Item 3 of Form N-1A.

     RESPONSE:

Comment complied with. MetLife has deleted in total the table labeled
"Underlying Fund Fees and Expenses" in accordance with Item 3, Paragraph 20, of
Form N-4. See page 9 of the Prospectus.

4.   STAFF COMMENT:

Please include the standard "Tandy" representations.

     RESPONSE:

MetLife will file via EDGAR a standard "Tandy" letter along with the Prospectus.
