Re:  Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company Separate Account Fund C
     (File Nos. 2-36250, 811-2025)

Dear Commissioners:

     On behalf of Transamerica  Occidental  Life Insurance  Company and Separate
Account  Fund C (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 the Company
through the Account  otherwise required to be filed under paragraph (c) of Rule
497 does not differ from the form of Prospectus  and SAI  contained in the Form
N-3 registration statement for the Account (the "Registration Statement"), 
which was filed  electronically  with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 29, 1996 via EDGARLINK.

Sincerely,


Regina M. Fink
Counsel
