Dear Sir or Madam:
On behalf of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"), transmitted

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and Rule 101(a) of
Regulation S-T, is a conformed electronic format copy of Pre-Effective Amendment
No. 1 on Form S-3 (the "Amendment") with respect to the MetLife Retirement
Account Liquidity Benefit (the "Liquidity Benefit"), which has a market value

The purposes of the Amendment are to address comments provided by Sonny Oh

The Amendment includes a delaying amendment in accordance with Rule 473

practicable.
This transmission contains conformed signature pages, the manually signed

comments.
Sincerely,
