Registrant will indemnify all of its directors, former directors, officers and

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof ) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement; provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof;
(3) (a) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(3) (b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each filing if the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
of 15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant, Allstate Life Insurance Company, pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, Registrant certifies
that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the

Board of Directors
Allstate Life Insurance Company
Northbrook, Illinois
We have made a review, in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), of the unaudited interim
consolidated financial information of Allstate Life Insurance Company and
subsidiaries for the periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and June 30, 2004
and 2003, and have issued our reports dated May 7, 2004, and August 10, 2004,
respectively; because we did not perform an audit, we expressed no opinion on
that information.
We are aware that our reports referred to above, which were included in your
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2004, and June
30, 2004, are being used in this Registration Statement.
We also are aware that the aforementioned reports, pursuant to Rule 436(c) under
the Securities Act of 1933, are not considered a part of the Registration
Statement prepared or certified by an accountant or a report prepared or
certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of that Act.

Exhibit 23 (a)
CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We consent to the incorporation by reference in this Registration Statement of
Allstate Life Insurance Company on Form S-3 of our report dated February 4, 2004
(which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory
paragraph relating to changes in the methods of accounting for embedded
derivatives in modified coinsurance agreements and variable interest entities in
2003), appearing in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Allstate Life Insurance
Company for the year ended December 31, 2003, and to the reference to us under
the heading "Experts" in the Prospectus, which is part of this Registration
Statement.
/s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP
Chicago, Illinois

Exhibit 23 (b)
CONSENT OF
FOLEY & LARDNER LLP
We hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus included in the initial Form S-3 Registration
Statement of Allstate Life Insurance Company, filed on October 12, 2004.
/s/ Foley & Lardner LLP

Exhibit 99
Experts
The consolidated financial statements and the related consolidated financial
statement schedules incorporated in this prospectus by reference from the
Allstate Life Insurance Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003 have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is
incorporated by reference herein (which report expresses an unqualified opinion
and includes an explanatory paragraph relating to changes in the methods of
accounting for embedded derivatives in modified coinsurance agreements and
variable interest entities in 2003), and have been so incorporated in reliance
upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting
and auditing.
With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and June 30, 2004 and 2003 which is incorporated
herein by reference, Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public
accounting firm, have applied limited procedures in accordance with standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of
such information. However, as stated in their reports included in the Company's
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June
30, 2004 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do
not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the
degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in
light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche
LLP are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities
Act of 1933 for their reports on the unaudited interim financial information
because those reports are not "reports" or a "part" of the registration
statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections
7 and 11 of the Act.
