Re: Allstate Life Insurance Company
Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form N-4
(File Nos. 333-77605; 811-09327)
Commissioners:
On behalf of Allstate Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), and Allstate
Financial Advisors Separate Account I (the "Account"), we are transmitting for
filing a certification pursuant to paragraph (j) of Rule 497 under the
Securities Act of 1933. In this regard, we certify that the form of the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for the variable annuity
contracts offered by the Company through the Account that would have been filed
under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from that contained in
the above-referenced registration statement for the Account. That registration
statement was filed electronically with the Commission on August 6, 1999.
If you have any questions or comments on this filing, please contact the
undersigned at (202) 383-0660 or Stephen E. Roth at (202) 383-0158
Sincerely,
/s/ Mary Jane Wilson-Bilik
