RE: OPINION OF COUNSEL - Variable Account-J
Dear Mr. Kelly:
I am serving as counsel in connection with the filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission of Form 24F-2 with respect to fiscal year 1999 of
Variable Account-J.
Based on my review of relevant materials, it is my opinion that the
securities sold in the fiscal year for which Form 24F-2 is being filed were
legally-issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
You may attach this opinion letter, or a copy thereof, to Form 24F-2.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lee W. Rabkin
Lee W. Rabkin, Esq.
