Re: Request to Withdraw Form N-4 Filing
First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company
WM Diversified StrategiesIII
FS Variable Separate Account
Dear Sir or Madam:
On July 17, 2002, we transmitted an N-4 filing for a new variable annuity product, WM Diversified StrategiesIII, to be issued by First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company ("First SunAmerica"), accession number 0000898430-02-002619.
Subsequently, we determined that the filing was invalid due to a change of directors. No securities were sold to the public since the product was not declared effective. Therefore, we respectfully request that the Form N-4 filing be withdrawn. We intend to file a new Form N-4 with the correct list and signatories.
Please contact Christine A. Nixon at 310-772-6606 or Katherine Stoner at 713-831-3164 if you have questions or need more information.
Sincerely,
/s/ Christine A. Nixon
Christine A. Nixon, Esq.
Director, Vice President and Secretary
First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company
