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 18, 2002 via EDGAR.

				Sincerely,


				/s/ Priscilla I. Hechler

				Assistant Vice President
and Assistant Secretary
