RE: Separate Account One
Northern Life Insurance Company
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We hereby respectfully request withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 10
(the "Amendment") to the Form N-4 registration statement, file No. 33-90474 (the
"Registration Statement"), filed January 26, 2000.
The Amendment was filed to add disclosure pertaining to a new additional series
of contracts to the disclosure regarding the variable annuity contracts that are
currently registered by the Registration Statement. A new, different form of
Prospectus would have offered the new series of contracts. However, the Company
has elected to file an entirely new registration statement to register the
contracts. This registration statement was filed with the Commission on March
21, 2000. As such, the Company requests withdrawal of the Amendment.
You can contact me with any questions at (612) 372-5512.
Sincerely yours,
/s/Stewart Gregg
Stewart D. Gregg
Counsel
