June 5, 2002 VIA EDGAR Securities and Exchange Commission 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549 	Re:	Casterbridge Management, Inc. 		Form RW - Application for Withdrawal Registration Statement on Form S-4 	Filed December 7, 2001, 	File Number 333-74740 Dear SEC: 	Pursuant to Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Providential Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Registrant") hereby applies for an order granting the immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-74740, together with all exhibits thereto (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2001. 	The Company has determined that it is not in its best interests to proceed with the Registration Statement at this time, as the Company does not currently have sufficient funding to proceed with the Registration Statement. The Registrant is therefore withdrawing its Registration Statement. 	The Registration Statement has never been declared effective, and no shares have been issued or sold pursuant to the Statement. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Dieterich & Associates, legal counsel to the Registrant, at (310) 312-6888, or the undersigned at (520) 731-9890. 				Sincerely, 				CASTERBRIDGE MANAGEMENT, INC. 				/s/ Daniel L. Hodges 			 Daniel L. Hodges 				President
