Dear Sir or Madam:
The Securities Act of 1933, Reg. ss. 230.497, requires Investment Companies
filing on Form N-4, of the Investment Company Act of 1940, to file the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, in the exact form used, within five days after the
effective date of a Registration Statement. In lieu of filing under paragraph
(b) or (c) of Reg. ss. 230.497, the Registrant, Northbrook Variable Annuity
Account, files this certification pursuant to paragraph (j) of Reg. ss.
230.497:
(j)(1) the form of Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information that
would have been filed under paragraph (b) or (c) of Reg. ss. 230.497
does not differ from that contained in the most recent registration

been filed electronically.
Please contact me at (847)402-7383, if you have any questions or comments. Thank
