Re: Withdrawal of a Registration Withdrawal Request previously made on Form RW
    FS Variable Separate Account (Registrant)
    First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company (Depositor)
    Polaris Platinum III Variable Annuity
    File Nos. 333-147008 and 811-08810

Dear Sir or Madam:

     The Registrant has learned that the registration withdrawal request filed
on its behalf on Form RW on February 4, 2009 (SEC Accession No.
0000950134-09-001842) was made in error. The Form RW was inadvertently filed
instead of the Form AW. Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933,
the Registrant hereby requests withdrawal of the Form RW filed on February 4,
2009.

     It is our understanding that this application for withdrawal of the
registration withdrawal request will be deemed granted as of the date that it is
filed with the Commission unless Registrant receives notice from the Commission
that this application will not be granted.

Sincerely,


/s/ MANDA GHAFERI
