Dear Mr. Koeffler:
Some time back you had called asking if Companion Life planned to move forward
with this registration, which has been a dormant filing for some months. I
responded that we planned to, but our State insurance filing was held up in New
York while that state was debating how to address certain issues regarding
modified single premium variable life policies. Those issues remain unresolved.
We hereby withdraw our Form S-6 registration, #333-20443, for a Modified Single
Premium Variable Universal Life product for Companion Life Insurance Company.
Our intent is to make such a registration again, but not until we have resolved
State insurance issues.
Thank you for your assistance. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
/s/ Kenneth W. Reitz
