Re:     Old Mutual Financial Network Separate Account VA ("Registrant")
        File No. 333-137531 and 811-21952
               485(a) POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT #8
        -   Beacon Navigator Variable Annuity
            (commission product and typical load/surrender charge)

Dear Commissioners and Ms. Marquigny:

For the above referenced Registrant, today's filing is a Rule 485(a)
post-effective May 1, 2008 amendment to a registration made on Form N-4 (the
"Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933
Act").

The sole purpose of today's 485(a) registration is to:

o       Increase the current charge for the optional single-life Account
        Protection Package benefit. This optional benefit includes a guaranteed
        minimum death benefit as well as guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
        wrapped into one package. The GMWB feature includes a cumulative feature
        that allows the owner to accumulate unused GMWB to result in a `savings
        bank' of GMWB that can be drawn on in later years. In many competing
        GMWBs, the annual benefit is lost if it isn't used. A cumulative benefit
        provides additional liquidity flexibility to the annuity contract owner.
        There is additional cost to the insurer to provide this accumulation
        benefit. We recently discovered that this additional cost hadn't been
        priced into the charge for the Account Protection Package. Today's
        registration seeks to recoup some of that cost by slightly increasing
        the charge (by 5 basis points) to purchase just the single-life Account
        Protection Package benefits.

o       We hope to have this Supplement become effective as soon after 60 days
        as possible - in early June 2008.

If you have any question concerning this filing before May 23, please contact
the undersigned by telephone at (410) 895- 0196 or by e-mail at Ken.
Reitz@omfn.com. After May 23, please contact Chip Lunde at the Jorden Burt law
firm in Washington DC at 202-965-8139 or by e-mail at mcl@jordenusa.com. I will
be leaving Old Mutual after May 23 to begin new employment at TIAA-CREF in
Charlotte, NC.

Respectfully Submitted,

/s/  Kenneth W. Reitz
