Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of American Fidelity Assurance Company (the "Company") and
American Fidelity Separate Account B ("Fund B"), we are filing a certification
pursuant to paragraph (j) of Rule 497 under the Securities Act of 1993. In
this regard, we certify that the form of Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information ("SAI") for certain variable annuity contracts offered by the
Company through Fund B otherwise required to be filed under paragraph (c) of
Rule 497 does not differ from the form of Prospectus and SAI contained in the
Form N-4 registration statement for Fund B, which was filed electronically with
the Securities and Exchange Commission via EDGARLINK on April 30, 1999 and
became effective on May 1, 1999.
Sincerely,
JOHN W. REX
