- -----------------------------------------------------
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of MML Bay State Life Insurance Company (the "Company")
and MML Bay State Variable Life Separate Account I - Variable Life Plus
(the "Account"), we are 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 prospectus for certain flexible premium variable life insurance
policies offered by the Company through the Account otherwise required to be
filed under paragraph (b) of Rule 497 would not have differed from the form
of prospectus contained in post-effective amendment number 8 to the Form S-6
registration statement for the Account that was filed electronically with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 1996 via EDGARLINK.
Sincerely,
/s/ James M. Rodolakis
