Indefinite article a or an before FOI

0Hi,02br
02br
00Consider the following:02br
02br
00a) You must submit a FOI request.02br
02br
00b) You must submit an FOI request.02br
02br
00Where FOI stands for Freedom of Information.02br
02br
00I think b) is correct but I have seen an official document with version a). 02br
02br
00I read version b) as "an 01i01font00eff oh eye02font02i00 request".02br
02br
00a) must be being read as "a 01i01font00Freedom of Information02font02i00 request".0-
