Dear Australian Securities and Investments Commission,

During the Senate inquiry into the performance of ASIC, the Economics Reference Committee received a number of submissions in relation to a regulated superannuation scheme that was at one time known as The Provident Fund.

The Committee in correspondence to ASIC noted "The submissions claim that qualifying male offices are entitled to a pension for life and their widows are then entitled to a survivorship pension. The submissions allege that the original Trust Deed was fraudulently altered and the conditions of the original Trust Deed are not being complied with (ie the pensions are not being paid".

The Committee then put a number of questions to ASIC.

ASIC's response commences "ASIC first received correspondence concerning the Provident Fund in March 2009......"

The document I seek is a copy of the covering letter (or email) that made reference to the Committee's questions and which included ASIC's response to the Committee (or to which the response was attached).

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney
