CIK No.: 0000778209

Dear Commissioners:

	On behalf of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of
Ohio ("Western Reserve") and the WRL Series Life 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 for certain deferred variable life policies
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 contained in the Form S-6 Registration
Statement for the Account (the "Registration Statement"). The
Registration Statement was filed electronically with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 22, 2002 via EDGAR.

				Sincerely,


				/s/ Priscilla I. Hechler
				Priscilla I. Hechler
				Assistant Vice President
and Assistant Secretary
