               Form S-3 Registration Statement
               Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 under the Securities Act of 1933
               File No. 333-178889

Dear Sir or Madam:

     MetLife filed on April 6, 2012 Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to the above-referenced Registration
Statement on Form S-3.

     In connection with this filing, MetLife acknowledges that:

     1.   should the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") or the
          staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing
          effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action
          with respect to the filing;

     2.   the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
          delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
          relieve MetLife from its full responsibility for the adequacy and
          accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

     3.   MetLife may not assert this action as a defense in any proceeding
          initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities
          laws of the United States.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   /s/ Bennett Kleinberg
