          REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM N-6
          PURSUANT TO RULE 477 (FILE NO. 333-135658; 811-21851)
          ACCESSION NO. 0000950135-06-004233

Commissioners:

     On behalf of Metlife Investors USA Insurance Company (the "Company") and
Metlife Investors USA Variable Life Account A (the "Account"), we hereby request
that the above-referenced registration statement filed on Form N-6 be withdrawn,
pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act").

     The initial registration statement was filed with the Commission on July
10, 2006. The Company has since determined to not to proceed with this offering
at this time. No securities have been sold with respect to this offering.

     The Account is a registered unit investment trust under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Account is the funding
vehicle for different variable life policies issued by the Company that are
registered separately under the 1933 Act. Therefore, the Account will maintain
its registered status under the 1940 Act.

     If you have any questions or comments concerning this request, please call
me at (202) 383-0698.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        /s/ Mary E. Thornton
                                        Mary E. Thornton
