We prove the existence of a smooth and non-degenerate curve $X\subset \mathbb{P}^{n}$,
$n\geqslant 8$, with
$\deg (X)=d$,
$p_{a}(X)=g$,
$h^{1}(N_{X}(-1))=0$, and general moduli for all
$(d,g,n)$ such that
$d\geqslant (n-3)\lceil g/2\rceil +n+3$. It was proved by C. Walter that, for
$n\geqslant 4$, the inequality
$2d\geqslant (n-3)g+4$ is a necessary condition for the existence of a curve with
$h^{1}(N_{X}(-1))=0$.
