Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477 of the 1933 Act, the Registrant, a separate account of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company, hereby respectfully requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") consent to the withdrawal of the Registrant's registration statement on Form N-4 (File nos. 333-147159 and 811-03240), filed with the Commission on November 5, 2007, accession number 0001193125-07-235339, along with any amendments or exhibits filed thereto (the Registration Statement").
