Re:      Lincoln Life Flexible Premium Variable Life Account J (the "Account")
         Rule 497(j) Filing
         File No. 33-76434; 811-08410

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (the "Company") and the
Separate Account referenced above, 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 Supplement to the Prospectus for certain variable life
insurance contracts offered by the Company through the Account, otherwise
requiring filing under Rule 497(b), does not differ from the form of the
Supplement contained in the most recent post-effective amendment filed
electronically on April 12, 2001.

Please contact me in writing or at (860) 466-1079 if you have any questions
about this filing.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Jeffrey A. Brine

Jeffrey A. Brine
