File No. 33-49556
CIK No. 0000841056
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 Prospectus and 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
Prospectus and 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 April 20, 1998 via
EDGAR.
Sincerely,
/s/ Priscilla I. Hechler
Priscilla I. Hechler
Assistant Vice President
