-------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On September 14, 1999, a Registration Statement on Form N-14 (the
"Registration Statement") was filed on behalf of MuniHoldings New Jersey
Insured Fund, Inc. under the wrong form type, N-14. The Registration Statement
was re-filed and accepted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on August 21, 2000 under the correct form type, N-14/8C. The
accession number for the re-filing was 0000905148-00-001695. We hereby request
the withdrawal of the original filing made on September 14, 1999 pursuant to
Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant to Rule 13(b) of
Regulation S-T, we request that the date of the August 21, 2000 re-filing of
the Registration Statement be adjusted to September 14, 1999. We also request
that the Commission issue a corrected order of effectiveness declaring the
Registration Statement effective as of November 4, 1999.
Please direct any communications relating to this filing to the
undersigned or to the Fund's counsel, Ellen W. Harris of Brown & Wood LLP at
(212) 839-5583.
Very truly yours,
Jodi Pinedo
Fund Secretary
