FILE NO. 333-31011 FILE NO. 811-08289, CIK NO. 0001039305
Dear Commissioners:
The undersigned hereby certifies that the form of Statement of Additional
Information that would have been filed pursuant to 497(c) upon the effectiveness
of Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to the Registrant's registration statement on
Form S-6 would not have differed from that contained in said Amendment, which
was the most recent amendment to such registration statement that was filed
electronically April 20, 2000.
The form of Prospectus that would have been filed pursuant to 497(c) upon the
effectiveness of Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to the Registrant's registration
statement differs on page 7 of the Account Prospectus. The heading reads
"Advisory Fees After Expense Reimbursement" and should read "Total Annual Fund
Expenses." This correction will be made by way of supplement to the Prospectus
filed on May 4, 2000.
Please direct any comments or questions concerning this certification to
Frederick D. Kelsven, esq. at (920)
734-5721 extension 3503.
Sincerely,
/s/ Frederick D. Kelsven
Frederick D. Kelsven
Deputy General Counsel
