              Form AW -- Withdrawal of amendment to a registration statement
              filed under the Securities Act

Dear Sir or Madam:

         Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
MetLife Life and Annuity Company ("Depositor") and MetLife of CT Separate
Account Twelve for Variable Annuities (the "Registrant") hereby request the
withdrawal of Registrant's post-effective amendment to its Registration
Statement on Form N-4, SEC File No. 333-101814 (SEC Accession No.
0000950123-07-005155), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 6, 2007.

         The Depositor and the Registrant are requesting withdrawal of the
post-effective amendment because the post-effective amendment was inadvertently
filed without an auditor's consent. Therefore, the Depositor and the Registrant
hereby request that an order be issued granting their request for withdrawal of
the post-effective amendment (SEC Accession No. 000950123-07-005155) as soon as
practicable.
