To the Board of Directors:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration of variable
life insurance policies under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") pursuant
to the provisions of Rule 24f-2 ("Rule") under the Investment Company Act of
1940. In rendering this opinion, I have reviewed such matters of fact and issues
of law as I have deemed necessary or appropriate.
During the year ended December 31, 1993, ML Life Insurance Company of New
York ("Company") sold $1,169,558 of variable life insurance policies pursuant
to registration statements of the ML of New York Variable Life Separate Account
under the 1933 Act, File Nos. 33-37944, 33-37945, 33- 37946, 33-37947, 33-37948
and 33-38097. The registration of the policies so sold is to be made definite by
the filing of a Rule 24f-2 Notice in accordance with the Rule.
In my opinion, the policies the registration of which is made definite by
the filing of the Notice were legally issued and are legal and binding
obligations of the Company in accordance with their terms.
Very truly yours,
Barry G. Skolnick
