CIK No. 0000841056
Dear Sir or Madam:
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 April 21, 2000 via EDGAR.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or
concerns regarding this filing. I can be reached at (727) 299-1635.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Kimberly Scouller
