MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
O’TOOLE, District Judge.
The plaintiff Zeeco, Inc. (“Zecco”), seeks a declaration that the defendant The Travelers, Inc. (“Travelers”) has a duty to defend against and provide indemnity for certain claims asserted against Zecco by the Marañe Oil Company (“Marañe”) by means of a letter sent by Marañe to Zecco in September, 1993. Zecco has moved for partial summary judgment on the question of whether the letter is equivalent to a “suit” as required to implicate Travelers’ insurance obligations under the relevant policies. The Court denies the motion.
