May 29, 2002

Mr. Andre Dahan
5608 Lakeview Drive, Apt. L
Kirkland, WA 98033

Dear Andre:

This letter consists of an agreement to amend the terms and conditions of the
retirement provision of your original offer letter, dated May 16, 2001, which
stated that:

               Upon reaching age 55, you will be granted a payment of $125,000
        on an annual basis in recognition of the lost value of the retirement
        program from your previous employer.

In essence, this provision will be replaced with two distinct benefits. First,
payments through age 58 will be provided in accordance with the "Special
Retirement Payments" section of this agreement. After age 58, payments will be
made in accordance with the terms of the Executive Life Program Split Dollar
Agreement.

SPECIAL RETIREMENT PAYMENTS

AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. (the "Company") will provide three annual payments
of $125,000 (gross), with the first such payment due on or around March 16,
2004. Please note that all applicable payroll taxes will be deducted from these
payments, the withholding for which will occur with the regular payroll that is
scheduled on or immediately following the target payment dates. Subsequent
payments will occur on or around March 16, 2005 and March 16, 2006.

Payments are contingent on your remaining employed by the Company in a
comparable position through March 16, 2004. Additionally, all outstanding
payments will become immediately due and payable if a termination of your
employment occurs prior to March 16, 2004 due to any of the following: your
death; your long-term disability as determined by AT&T Wireless; or a Company
initiated termination of your employment for any reason, other than Cause. For
purposes of this agreement, Cause shall have the meaning as set forth in the
Employee's offer letter. Additionally, if a Change in Control occurs before all
payments are made, the Company would fully fund any outstanding payments via an
appropriate grantor trust.

Payments under this agreement are in addition to and not in lieu of qualified or
non-qualified pension, savings or other retirement plan, program or arrangements
to which you are otherwise entitled. The payments provided under this agreement
are not included in the base for calculating benefits under any employee or
management benefit plan, program or practice.

DEFERRAL OPTION

Should you remain employed after March 16, 2004, you may defer receipt of any or
all of the Special Retirement Payments until termination. If you choose to defer
one or more of these payments, the Company will establish a Deferred
Compensation Account ("Account") under your name. The Account will be maintained
and paid to you in accordance with the provisions set herein. The Account will
be maintained as a bookkeeping account on the records of the Company and subject
to the claims of general creditors of the Company. You will have no ownership
interest in the Account, or in any assets of the Company with respect thereto.
The Account may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise alienated by you, and any
attempt to do so, or any garnishment, execution of levy of any kind with respect
to the account will not be recognized. You will not have any right to receive
any payment with respect to the Account, except as expressly stated below.

Your irrevocable deferral election must be made on or before December 31, 2002
and you must remain employed through the applicable payment date for the
deferral to remain valid. Upon termination of your employment for any reason,
all amounts credited to the Account will be paid in one, two or three
approximately equal annual installments, as elected by you, with the initial
installment due in the first calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in
which you terminate and any subsequent installment payable on the applicable
anniversary of such due date. You will be responsible for applicable FICA,
Medicare, and income taxes.

The interest credited on the amounts in the Account will be compounded as of the
end of each calendar quarter for as long as any sums remain in the Account. The
quarterly rate of interest applied at the end of any calendar quarter will be
equal to 25% of the average 10-year Treasury Note rate for the previous quarter.

Should you die prior to the time the final installment has been paid to you, the
Company will make the remaining payments to your beneficiary (as designated via
the employee benefits program), unless you designate otherwise in writing, or to
your estate if no beneficiary has been designated.

Andre, we trust this agreement will meet your expectations for providing the
bridge to the benefits available to you under the Executive Life Program Split
Dollar Agreement. If you agree, please sign below and timely apprise us of your
desire to defer the payments. We will prepare the necessary deferral documents
if you timely elect deferral.

Sincerely,

/s/ Jane Marvin

AT&T Wireless Services

                       DESCRIPTION OF TAX ALLOWANCE POLICY

        We have adopted a tax allowance policy for senior vice presidents,
executive vice presidents, the President and the Chief Executive Officer. Under
the tax allowance policy, the reimbursement of transportation and living
expenses related to business commuting that are taxable to the eligible employee
will be grossed up for federal income, state income, FICA and Medicare taxes. In
addition, for certain company-provided benefits, including financial counseling,
executive life insurance, personal umbrella liability insurance, executive
medical exams, and other similar company-provided benefits that are taxable to
the eligible employee, we will provide a tax allowance equal to the tax
associated with the benefit assuming the highest marginal tax rate. No tax
allowance will be provided for imputed income related to the transfer of an
executive life insurance policy at retirement.<PAGE>

                                                                  EXHIBIT 10.8

           DESCRIPTION OF LIFE INSURANCE ARRANGEMENT WITH ANDRE DAHAN

On May 29, 2002, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Dahan to amend the
retirement provision of his original employment agreement. (See Exhibit 10.6.)
In lieu of his original retirement benefits, we have agreed to provide him other
comparable benefits, including a split dollar life insurance arrangement. Under
this arrangement, we have agreed to make five premium payments of $731,000 each
on a life insurance policy owned by Mr. Dahan, subject to our ability under the
agreement to terminate making such payments. (The next premium payment is due in
2003). The agreement provides that we are entitled to recover the total premiums
paid upon the death of Mr. Dahan or any earlier termination of the split dollar
agreement, plus any excess value in the policy after the proceeds have been paid
to Mr. Dahan or his beneficiaries, as applicable.<PAGE>

  ALL OTHER TERMINATIONS       Upon your termination of employment for any
                               reason other than as described above or in the

<PAGE>
     DISCHARGE FOR CAUSE       Upon your termination of employment or services
                               for cause, or if the Committee determines that
                               you engaged in misconduct in connection with your
                               employment or services, the Option will be
                               immediately cancelled.

             COMPETITION       The Option will be forfeited and cancelled if,
                               without the consent of AT&T Wireless, while
                               employed by or providing services to AT&T
                               Wireless or after termination of such employment
                               or services, you establish a relationship with a
                               competitor of AT&T Wireless or engage in activity
                               which is in conflict with or adverse to the
                               interest of AT&T Wireless, as determined in
                               accordance with AT&T Wireless noncompetition
                               requirements applicable to you.

       CHANGE IN CONTROL       In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which
                               the Option is assumed or substituted for by a
                               successor company, the Option will become fully
                               vested and exercisable if, within two years of
                               the Corporate Transaction, your employment is
                               terminated by the successor company without Cause
                               or if you terminate employment for Good Reason.

                               For purposes of this Option Agreement, "Cause"
                               means:

                               (1)  Your conviction (including a plea of guilty
                                    or nolo contendere) of a felony involving
                                    theft or moral turpitude or relating to the
                                    business of the successor company, other
                                    than a felony predicated on your vicarious
                                    liability. Vicarious liability means, and
                                    means only, any liability which is based on
                                    acts of the successor company for which you
                                    are charged solely as a result of your
                                    offices with the successor company and in
                                    which either (a) you were not directly
                                    involved or did not have prior knowledge of
                                    such actions or inactions, or (b) counsel
                                    had advised that the action or inaction was
                                    permissible.

                               (2)  You engage in conduct that constitutes
                                    willful gross negligence or willful gross
                                    misconduct in carrying out your duties under
                                    this Option Agreement, resulting, in either
                                    case, in material economic harm to the
                                    successor company and its subsidiaries and
                                    divisions.

                               "Good Reason" means any termination of your
                               employment, initiated by you, resulting from any
                               of the following events, without your express
                               written consent, which are not cured by the
                               successor company within 20 days of your giving
                               the successor company written notice thereof:

                               (1)  A reduction in your base salary and target
                                    annual incentive bonus percentage or the
                                    failure of the successor company to provide
                                    you with stock options, restricted stock
                                    units and/or other equity incentive awards
                                    available to AT&T Wireless executives at a
                                    level comparable with your position.

                               (2)  The assignment to you of any duties
                                    inconsistent with, or any substantial
                                    alteration in, your status or
                                    responsibilities (other than as a result of
                                    your mental or physical incapacity) as in
                                    effect immediately prior thereto.

                               (3)  A change in your work location of more than
                                    50 miles from the work location as of the
                                    Corporate Transaction.

                               (4)  A change in your reporting relationship that
                                    differs from the reporting relationship you
                                    had prior to the Corporate Transaction;
                                    provided, however, that subject to your
                                    written consent, you may be reassigned to an
                                    operating position or status comparable to
                                    this position as of the Corporate
                                    Transaction reporting to a comparable

                               (6)  A material breach of any provisions hereof
                                    by the successor company.

                               You must notify the successor company within 60
                               days following knowledge of an event you believe
                               constitutes Good Reason, or such event will not
                               constitute Good Reason hereunder.

        EXERCISE PROCESS       The Option or any portion thereof (which number
                               will be at least 50 or the number of Shares that
                               may then be exercised under the Option, whichever
                               is less) may be exercised only upon payment of
                               the exercise price thereof in full, and in
                               accordance with procedures established by the
                               AT&T Wireless Board or the Committee. Payment
                               must be made in any combination of (a) cash; (b)
                               Shares of AT&T Wireless common stock having a
                               Fair Market Value, as determined in accordance
                               with procedures established by the Committee, on
                               the date of exercise equal to the aggregate
                               exercise price of the Shares as to which the
                               Option is being exercised; provided, however,
                               that any AT&T Wireless common stock surrendered
                               as payment must have been owned by you at least
                               six months prior to the date of exercise; or (c)
                               by a broker-assisted cashless exercise. Exercise
                               of the Option will take effect on the date the
                               notice of exercise, in good order, and payment of
                               the exercise price and applicable tax
                               withholdings are actually received in accordance
                               with the procedures established by the AT&T
                               Wireless Board or the Committee.

      DELIVERY OF SHARES       Within a reasonable period after the Option is
                               exercised, AT&T Wireless will deliver to you or
                               your legal representative a statement reflecting
                               ownership of Shares in the form of book entry or
                               certificates for the number of Shares with
                               respect to which you exercised the Option.
                               Neither you nor your legal representative will
                               be, or have any of the rights and privileges of,
                               a stockholder of AT&T Wireless in respect of any
                               Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the
                               Option, in whole or in part, unless and until
                               book entry has been made or certificates have
                               been issued for such Shares.

         TRANSFERABILITY       The Option is not transferable by you otherwise
                               than by will or the laws of descent and
                               distribution, and during your lifetime the Option
                               may be exercised only by you or your guardian or
                               legal representative.

             BENEFICIARY       You may, in accordance with procedures
                               established by the Committee, designate one or
                               more beneficiaries to receive all or part of the
                               Option in case of your death, and you may change
                               or revoke such designation at any time. In the
                               event of your death, any portion of the Option
                               that is subject to such a designation (to the
                               extent such designation is valid and enforceable
                               under applicable law) will be distributed to such
                               beneficiary or beneficiaries in accordance with
                               this Option Agreement. Any other portion of the
                               Option will be distributable to your estate. If
                               there is any question as to the legal right of
                               any beneficiary to receive a distribution
                               hereunder, the Shares in question may be
                               purchased by and distributed to your estate, in
                               which event neither AT&T Wireless nor any
                               Affiliate will have any further liability to
                               anyone with respect to such Shares.

       EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS       Neither the Plan nor this Option Agreement will
                               be construed as giving you the right to be
                               retained in the employ of AT&T Wireless or any
                               Affiliate.

         OTHER CORPORATE       If AT&T Wireless determines, on advice of
              PROVISIONS       counsel, that the listing, registration or
                               qualification of the Shares upon any securities
                               exchange or under any state or federal law, or
                               the consent or approval of any governmental or
                               regulatory agency or authority, is necessary or
                               desirable as a condition of or in connection with
                               the exercise of the Option, no portion of the
                               Option may be exercised until or unless such
                               listing, registration, qualification, consent or
                               approval has been effected or obtained.

                               Any determination or decisions made or actions
                               taken arising out of or in connection with the
                               interpretation and administration of this Option
                               Agreement and the Plan by the AT&T Wireless Board
                               or the Committee will be final and conclusive.

                               This Option Agreement may be amended by the AT&T
                               Wireless Board or the Committee provided that no
                               such amendment may impair your rights hereunder
                               without your consent.

                               AT&T Wireless may withhold or require you to pay
                               any applicable withholding or other employment
                               taxes due upon the exercise of the Option. You
                               may elect to satisfy such withholding tax
                               obligations by requesting that AT&T Wireless
                               withhold Shares otherwise deliverable upon the
                               exercise of the Option; provided, however, that
                               the value of such withheld Shares does not exceed
                               the employer's minimum required tax withholding
                               rate.

                               The validity, construction and effect of this
                               Option Agreement will be determined in accordance
                               with the laws of the State of Washington, without
                               giving effect to principles of conflict of laws,
                               and applicable federal law.
