I, [identify the certifying individual], certify that:

included in the year covered by this annual report, of Salomon Brothers
Mortgage Securities VII, Inc. (the "Registrant");

2.  Based on my knowledge, the information in these reports, taken as a whole,
does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading as of the
last day of the period covered by this annual report;

3.  Based on my knowledge, the distribution information, and the servicing
information required to be provided to the Trust Administrator by the Servicer
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is included in these reports;

4.  Based on my knowledge and upon the annual compliance statement
included in the report and required to be delivered to the trustee in
accordance with the terms of the pooling and servicing, or similar,
agreement, and except as disclosed in the reports, the servicer has
fulfilled its obligations under the servicing agreement; and

5. The reports disclose all significant deficiencies relating to the
servicer's compliance with the minimum servicing standards based upon
the report provided by an independent public accountant, after
conducting a review in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or similar procedure, as set forth in the
pooling and servicing, or similar, agreement, that is included in these
reports.
