Re: Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio
WRL Series Annuity Account
WRL Freedom Wealth Creator
File No. 333-24959
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio ("Western Reserve")
and the WRL Series Annuity 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 Statement of Additional
Information ("SAI") for certain deferred variable annuity contracts 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 SAI contained
in the Form N-4 registration statement for the Account (the "Registration
Statement"). The Registration Statement was filed electronically with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 1997 via EDGAR.
Sincerely,
/s/ Priscilla I. Hechler
Priscilla I. Hechler
Assistant Vice President
and Assistant Secretary
