Re: Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

File No. 33-31140
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, 2000 via EDGAR.
Sincerely,
/s/ PRISCILLA I. HECHLER
