Exhibit 6

April 18, 2001


Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
One Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10010

Dear Sirs:

This opinion is furnished in connection with the filing of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 6 to Registration Statement No. 33-91226 on Form S-6
("Registration Statement") which covers premium received under Group Variable
Universal Life Insurance Policies and Certificates ("Policies") offered by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MLIC") in each State where they have been
approved by appropriate State insurance authorities.

As an Assistant Vice-President and Actuary of MLIC, I have reviewed the Policies
and I am familiar with the Registration Statement and Exhibits thereto.

In my opinion, the illustrations of the death benefit and cash values for the
Group Policy in Exhibit 1A(5)(c) included in the Registration Statement, based
on the assumptions stated in the illustrations, are consistent with the
provisions of the Policies.  Also, in my opinion, such assumptions, including
the assumed current charge levels, are reasonable based on MLIC's current
expectations.

The Policies have not been designed so as to make the relationship between
premiums and benefits, as shown in these illustrations, appear to be
correspondingly more favorable to a prospective purchaser of a certificate under
the Policies for insured persons age 40 in the underwriting categories specified
in the illustrations, than to prospective purchasers of certificates under the
Policies for an insured person at other ages or in other underwriting classes.
Nor were the particular illustrations shown selected for the purpose of making
this relationship appear more favorable.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to my name under the heading "Legal, Accounting,
and Actuarial Matters" in the Prospectus.

Very truly yours,
