                      Supplement to the Current Prospectus



         The Board of Managers which oversees the Managed Sectors Variable
  Account ("MSVA"), a separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada
  (U.S.) (the "Company") voted at its meeting held on April 28, 2005 to
  terminate MSVA, effective July 18, 2005, or as soon thereafter as practicable
  (the "Termination Date").

         Effective immediately, the Company will suspend the allocation of
  Purchase Payments to MSVA unless the allocation is from an existing Contract
  Owner who has previously allocated Purchase Payments to MSVA made pursuant to
  a pre-established investment plan. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company will
  suspend the allocation of Purchase Payments to MSVA including allocations from
  an existing Contract Owner made pursuant to a pre-established investment plan.
  As the Variable Account may liquidate portfolio securities in anticipation of
  its termination, MSVA may not be managed to meet its investment objective
  during this period.

         Until the Termination Date, you may choose to withdraw that portion of
  your Accumulation Account attributable to MSVA or transfer that portion of
  your Accumulation Account attributable to MSVA to the Fixed Account, one or
  more of the other Variable Accounts or a combination of these options. There
  are currently six other Variable Accounts into which you may choose to
  transfer: Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable
  Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account,
  Money Market Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account. If you
  transfer into one of the other Variable Accounts prior to the Termination Date
  or within 60 days after the Termination Date, the transfer will not be counted
  for purposes of the limitation on the number of transfers you may make per
  Contract Year under your Contract. Under current tax law a transfer will not
  result in any tax liability. If you choose to withdraw that portion of your
  Accumulation Account attributable to MSVA, you will not incur withdrawal
  charges. A withdrawal may, however, have adverse tax consequences (please
  consult your tax advisor for advice).

         If you take no action, that portion of your Accumulation Account
attributable to MSVA will automatically be transferred on the Termination Date
into the Money Market Variable Account ("MMVA") without incurring any sales
charges or fees. MMVA seeks maximum current income to the extent consistent with
stability of principal by investing exclusively in money market instruments
maturing in 13 months or less. A copy of the prospectus of MMVA and the other
Variable Accounts is available without charge upon request by calling
1-800-752-7215.
