Re: Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company
Massachusetts Mutual Variable Annuity Separate Account 1 (Flex Extra
Segment) File No. 33-7724
Massachusetts Mutual Variable Annuity Separate Account 2 (Flex Extra
Segment) File No. 33-7723
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the "Company") and
Massachusetts Mutual Variable Annuity Separate Accounts 1 & 2 - Flex Extra
Segment (the "Separate Accounts"), I am filing a certification pursuant to
paragraph (j) of Rule 497 under the Securities Act of 1933. In this regard, I
certify that the form of prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
("SAI") for certain deferred variable annuity contracts offered by the Company
through the Separate Account otherwise required to be filed under paragraph (c)
of Rule 497 would not have differed from the form of prospectus and SAI
contained in post-effective amendment number 15 to the Form N-4 registration
statements for the Separate Accounts that were filed electronically with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on or about April 25, 2000.
Sincerely,
/s/ James M. Rodolakis
