          Form S-3 Registration Statement
          Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 under the Securities Act of 1933
          File No. 333-185333

Dear Sir or Madam:

   MetLife filed on April 5, 2013 Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to the above-referenced Registration
Statement on Form S-3.

   In connection with this filing, the 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/ Elizabeth M. Forget
