Ms. White:

On behalf of MetLife Investors Insurance Company and First MetLife Investors
Insurance Company and their respective separate accounts, MetLife Investors
Variable Annuity Account One and First MetLife Investors Variable Annuity
Account One, below are draft examples to be included in the supplement.

Examples:

(1) Assume your new purchase payment is $5,000, your most recent account value
in this contract is $100,000, and your prior purchase payments made under this
contract, reduced by any withdrawals, equal $125,000. The "related amount" is
calculated by subtracting your most recent account value in this contract from
prior purchase payments made under this contract, reduced by any withdrawals
($125,000 - $100,000 = $25,000). Therefore, "your investment" is equal to the
total of your new purchase payment ($5,000), your most recent account value
($100,000), and the related amount ($25,000); $5,000 + $100,000 + $25,000 =
$130,000.

(2) Assume your new purchase payment is $5,000, your most recent account value
in this contract is $100,000, and your prior purchase payments made under this
contract, reduced by any withdrawals, equal $75,000. The "related amount" is
calculated by subtracting your most recent account value in this contract from
prior purchase payments made under this contract, reduced by any withdrawals
($75,000 - $100,000 = - $25,000). As noted above, the related amount is never
less than zero. Therefore, "your investment" is equal to the total of your new
purchase payment ($5,000), your most recent account value ($100,000), and the
related amount ($0); $5,000 + $100,000 + $0 = $105,000.

This e-mail will be submitted via EDGAR correspondence.

questions or comments.
