File No. 33-63246
CIK No. 0000906320
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio ("Western
Reserve") and the WRL Series Annuity Account B (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 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 Statement of Additional
Information 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 26, 1999 via
EDGAR.
Sincerely,
/s/ PRISCILLA I. HECHLER
