Replace the paragraph following "Example 2" with the following:

         PLEASE   REMEMBER   THAT  YOU  ARE  LOOKING  AT  EXAMPLES   AND  NOT  A
         REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES.  YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE
         LOWER OR GREATER THAN THOSE SHOWN ABOVE. SIMILARLY, YOUR RATE OF RETURN
         MAY BE LOWER OR GREATER  THAN 5%,  WHICH IS NOT  GUARANTEED.  THE ABOVE
         EXAMPLES  ASSUME  THE  ELECTION  OF BOTH THE  ENHANCED  EARNINGS  DEATH
         BENEFIT OPTION AND THE INCOME AND DEATH BENEFIT  COMBINATION  OPTION 2,
         WITH A MORTALITY  AND EXPENSE  RISK CHARGE OF 2.00%.  IF THOSE  OPTIONS
         WERE NOT  ELECTED,  THE EXPENSE  FIGURES  SHOWN ABOVE WOULD BE SLIGHTLY
         LOWER. TO REFLECT THE CONTRACT  MAINTENANCE CHARGE IN THE EXAMPLES,  WE
         ESTIMATED  AN  EQUIVALENT  PERCENTAGE  CHARGE,  BASED  UPON AN  ASSUMED
         AVERAGE CONTRACT SIZE OF $45,000.

Page 16: Add the  following to the third  paragraph  under the section  entitled
"Accumulation Unit Value:"

         Finally,  we determine five additional sets of Accumulation Unit Values
         (sets  6-10)  that  reflect  the cost of the  Enhanced  Earnings  Death
         Benefit Option when selected alone and when selected along with each of
         the other four death or income benefit options.

Page 22:  Replace the first  sentence of the first  paragraph  under the section
entitled "Mortality and Expense Risk Charge" with the following:

         We deduct a mortality  and expense  risk charge daily at an annual rate
         of 1.25% of the  average  daily net  assets  you have  invested  in the
         Variable  Sub-Accounts  (1.38%  if you  select  the  Performance  Death
         Benefit  Option,  1.49% if you  select  the Death  Benefit  Combination
         Option,  1.55% if you select the Income Benefit  Combination  Option 2,
         and 1.75% if you select the Income and Death Benefit Combination Option
         2). If you select the Enhanced Earnings Death Benefit Option, we deduct
         a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.50% of
         average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts
         (1.63% if you also select the Performance  Death Benefit Option,  1.74%
         if you select the Death Benefit Combination Option, 1.80% if you select
         the  Income  Benefit  Combination  Option 2, or 2.00% if you select the
         Income and Death  Benefit  Combination  Option 2).
<PAGE>

Page 28:  Replace the first  paragraph  under "Death  Benefit  Options" with the
following:

          The  Performance  Death  Benefit  Option,  Death  Benefit  Combination
          Option,  Income and Death Benefit  Combination  Option 2, and Enhanced
          Earnings  Death  Benefit  Option are  optional  benefits  that you may
          elect. If the Contract owner is a natural person,  these death benefit
          options apply only on the death of the Contract owner. If the Contract
          owner is not a natural  person,  these options apply only on the death
          of the  Annuitant.  For Contracts with the  Performance  Death Benefit
          Option, Death Benefit Combination Option, and Income and Death Benefit
          Combination  Option 2, the death  benefit will be the greater of Death
          Benefit Amounts (1) through (3) above, or (4) the death benefit option
          you selected.  For Contracts with the Enhanced  Earnings Death Benefit
          Option,  the death  benefit  will be increased as described on page __
          below. The death benefit options may not be available in all states.
<PAGE>

Page 28: Insert the following  after the seventh  paragraph under "Death Benefit
Options:"

                  ENHANCED EARNINGS DEATH BENEFIT OPTION.

         You may elect the  Enhanced  Earnings  Death  Benefit  Option  alone or
         together  with any other death and/or  income  benefit  option  offered
         under the Contract.  Under the Enhanced  Earnings Death Benefit Option,
         if the oldest Contract owner (or the Annuitant if the Contract owner is
         a  non-natural  person)  is age 69 or  younger on the date we issue the
         rider for this option  ("Rider  Date"),  the death benefit is increased
         by:

o    40% of the lesser of the In-Force Premium or Death Benefit Earnings.

         If the oldest Contract owner (or the Annuitant if the Contract owner is
         a  non-natural  person) is  between  the ages of 70 and 79 on the Rider
         Date, the death benefit is increased by:

o    25% of the lesser of the In-Force Premium or Death Benefit Earnings.

For purpose of calculating  the Enhanced  Earnings Death Benefit,  the following
definitions apply:

                  In-Force  Premium  equals the Contract Value on the Rider Date
                  plus all purchase  payments  after the Rider Date less the sum
                  of all Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawals after the Rider Date. If
                  the  Rider  Date  is the  same as the  Issue  Date,  then  the
                  Contract  Value on the  Rider  Date is  equal to your  initial
                  purchase payment.

                  Death  Benefit  Earnings  equal the Contract  Value minus the
                  In-Force Premium. The Death Benefit Earnings amount will never
                  be less than zero.

                  An Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawal is the amount of a withdrawal
                  which  is in  excess  of the  Death  Benefit  Earnings  in the
                  Contract immediately prior to the withdrawal.

         We will calculate the Enhanced  Earnings Death Benefit Option as of the
         date we receive Due Proof of Death.  We will pay the Enhanced  Earnings
         Death Benefit with the death benefit as described  under "Death Benefit
         Payments" below.

         The value of the Enhanced Earnings Death Benefit depends largely on the
         amount of earnings that accumulate  under your Contract.  If you expect
         to  withdraw  the  earnings  from your  Contract  Value,  electing  the
         Enhanced  Earnings  Death Benefit  Option may not be  appropriate.  For
         purposes of calculating the Enhanced  Earnings Death Benefit,  earnings
         are considered to be withdrawn  first before  purchase  payments.  Your
         Financial  Advisor can help you decide if the Enhanced  Earnings  Death
         Benefit Option is right for you.

         For examples of how the death benefit is calculated  under the Enhanced
         Earnings Death Benefit Option, see Appendix A.
<PAGE>

Page 29: Insert the following after the second sentence of the second paragraph:

          If the Enhanced Earnings Death Benefit Option has been elected, on the
          date the  contract  is  continued,  the Rider Date for this  Option is
          reset  to  the  date  the  contrast  is  continued.  For  purposes  of
          calculating future death benefits,  you spouse's age on this new Rider
          date will be used to determine applicable death benefit amounts.

Page 34: Insert the following as Appendix A:

         CALCULATION OF ENHANCED EARNINGS DEATH BENEFIT

     EXAMPLE 1. In this  example,  assume that the oldest Owner is age 65 at the
     time the Contract is issued and elects the Enhanced  Earnings Death Benefit
     Option  when the  Contract is issued.  The Owner makes an initial  purchase
     payment  of  $100,000.  After  four  years,  the  Owner  dies.  On the date
     Northbrook  receives due proof of death,  the  Contract  Value is $125,000.
     Prior to his death, the Owner did not make any additional purchase payments
     or take any withdrawals.

                  Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawals = $0
                  In-Force Premium = $100,000 ($100,000 + $0 - $0)
                  Death Benefit Earnings = $25,000  ($125,000  - $100,000)
                  Enhanced Earnings Death Benefit = 40% x $25,000 = $10,000.

     Since Death  Benefit  Earnings are less than  In-Force  Premium,  the Death
     Benefit  Earnings are used to compute the Enhanced  Earnings  Death Benefit
     amount.

     EXAMPLE 2. In the second  example,  assume the same facts as above,  except
     that the Owner has taken a withdrawal of $10,000  during the second year of
     the Contract.  At the time the  withdrawal is taken,  the Contract Value is
     $105,000.  Here, $5,000 of the withdrawal is in excess of the Death Benefit
     Earnings  at the time of the  withdrawal.  The  Contract  Value on the date
     Northbrook receives due proof of death will be assumed to be $114,000.

                  Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawals = $5,000 ($10,000 - $5,000)
                  In-Force Premium =  $95,000  ($100,000  + $0 - $5,000)
                  Death Benefit Earnings  = $19,000  ($114,000  -  $95,000)
                  Enhanced Earnings Death Benefit = 40% x $19,000 = $7,600.

     Since Death  Benefit  Earnings are less than  In-Force  Premium,  the Death
     Benefit  Earnings are used to compute the Enhanced  Earnings  Death Benefit
     amount.

     EXAMPLE  3. This third  example is  intended  to  illustrate  the effect of
     adding the Enhanced  Earnings  Death Benefit  Option after the Contract has
     been issued and the effect of later  purchase  payments.  In this  example,
     assume that the oldest  Owner is age 75 at the time the  Enhanced  Earnings
     Death  Benefit is elected.  At the time the  Contract is issued,  the Owner
     makes a  purchase  payment of  $100,000.  After two years  pass,  the Owner
     elects to add the Enhanced  Earnings Death Benefit Option. On the date this
     Option is added, the Contract Value is $110,000. Two years later, the Owner
     withdraws $50,000.  Immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Contract Value
     is  $130,000.  Another  two  years  later,  the Owner  makes an  additional
     purchase  payment of $40,000.  A year later, the owner dies with a Contract
     Value of $140,000 on the date we receive Due Proof of Death.

                  Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawals = $30,000 ($50,000 - $20,000)
                  In-Force  Premium =  $120,000  ($110,000  + $40,000 - $30,000)
                  Death  Benefit  Earnings  =  $20,000   ($140,000  -  $120,000)
                  Enhanced Earnings Death Benefit = 25% of $20,000 = $5,000.
<PAGE>

     In this  example,  In-Force  Premium is the Contract  Value on the date the
     Rider was issued plus all later  withdrawals  and minus  Excess-of-Earnings
     Withdrawals.  Since Death Benefit Earnings are less than In-Force  Premium,
     the Death Benefit Earnings are used to compute the Enhanced  Earnings Death
     Benefit amount.

                  MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER VARIABLE ANNUITY 3
              STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DATED MAY 1, 2000


This  supplement  amends the statement of additional  information,  dated May 1,
2000,  for the Morgan  Stanley  Dean  Witter  Variable  Annuity 3  Contracts  as
follows:

Under the section  entitled  "Standardized  Total  Returns",  add the  following
separate paragraph immediately after the sixth paragraph:

         Contracts  with the Enhanced  Earnings  Death Benefit Option were first
         offered to the public as of ________,  2000. The Variable  Sub-Accounts
         were  available  for  investment  prior  to  that  date.   Accordingly,
         performance figures for Variable  Sub-Accounts for periods prior to the
         availability of the Enhanced  Earnings Death Benefit Option reflect the
         historical  performance  of  the  Variable  Sub-Accounts,  adjusted  to
         reflect  the  current  charge  for  such  features  as if they had been
         available  throughout the periods shown,  as well as the withdrawal and
         contract maintenance charge.
