CIK No. 0000778209
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio ("Western Reserve")
and the WRL Series Life Account (the "Account"), we are filing a certification
pursuant to paragraph (j) of Rule 497 under the Securities Act of 1933. In this
regard, we certify that the form of Prospectus for certain deferred variable
life policies offered by Western Reserve through the Account otherwise required
to be filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from the
form of Prospectus contained in the Form S-6 registration statement for the
Account (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement was filed
electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 1998 via
EDGAR.
Sincerely,
/s/ Priscilla I. Hechler
Priscilla I. Hechler
