RE: N-3 Filing by Select Ten Plus Division of Separate Account II of
National Integrity Life Insurance Co. ("National Integrity")
Accession No: 0001047469-98-006117
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir/Madam:
On February 13, 1998, National Integrity filed a registration statement on
Form N-3 on behalf of the Select Ten Plus Division of Separate Account II. This
filing referenced the previously assigned file number under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") for Separate Account II (811-07132).
Pursuant to conversations with the staff of the Office of Insurance Products,
National Integrity would like a new 1940 Act file number and a new file number
under the Securities Act of 1933 assigned to the Select Ten Plus Division of
Separate Account II. Accordingly, on behalf of the Select Ten Plus Division of
Separate Account II, National Integrity hereby requests that the
above-referenced filing on Form N-3 be withdrawn.
Your consideration in this matter is very much appreciated. If you should
have any questions regarding this request, please feel free to call the
undersigned at (502) 582-7956, Michael Berenson at (202) 965-8140, or Magda El
Guindi-Rosenbaum at (202) 965-8112.
Sincerely,
