Re: Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company Separate Account A ("Registrant")
Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to Form N-4 Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Post-Effective Amendment No. 11
under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(File No. 333-50879 and File No. 811-7351)
CIK No. 000947878
Commissioners:
On behalf of the Registrant and pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), I hereby request withdrawal of
post-effective amendment no. 3 ("Amendment") to the above captioned Form N-4
registration statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("Commission") on March 3, 2000. I am requesting withdrawal because Registrant
has decided to defer the offering of the riders described in the Amendment for
the time being.
For the foregoing reasons, I submit that withdrawal of the Amendment would be
consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, and
respectfully request that the Commission grant this request for withdrawal. The
cooperation of the Commission staff is greatly appreciated in this matter.
Sincerely,
/s/ ANTHONY POOLE
