Ladies and Gentlemen:

CIGNA Funds Group requests, pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of
1933, that Post Effective Amendment No. 66 filed electronically on June 19, 2000
(reference accession number 0000950109-00-002559) be withdrawn.

The reason for this request is that the registrant does not wish to reprint its
prospectus in order to insert the disclosure included in Post Effective
Amendment No. 66.

Please contact me at 860.726.5576 with any questions or comments regarding this
request.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

CIGNA Funds Group

/s/  Jeffrey S. Winer
     Its Attorney
