Re:     Variable Account I of AIG Life Insurance Company ("Registrant")
        Ovation Access Variable Annuity
        Form N-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act")
           and the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act")
        File Nos. 333-31972 and 811-5301, declared effective: July 6, 2000
        AMENDED EDGAR Submission Type RW Withdrawal Request
        Withdrawal of Registration Statement after Effectiveness Pursuant to
        Rule 477 of the 1933 Act

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are filing this AMENDED Type RW Withdrawal Request solely to correct the date
on which the above-referenced registration statement was declared effective from
that which appeared on our original Type RW Withdrawal Request filed on May 24,
2002. The correct effective date of the registration statement is July 6, 2000.

Pursuant to Rule 477 of the 1933 Act, the Registrant, a separate account of AIG
Life Insurance Company, hereby respectfully requests that the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") consent to the withdrawal of the
Registrant's registration statement on Form N-4 (File Nos. 333-31972 and
811-5301), filed with the Commission on March 8, 2000 and declared effective
July 6, 2000, along with any amendments or exhibits filed thereto (the
"Registration Statement").

The Ovation Access Variable Annuity (the "Product"), was not marketed and no
securities were sold in the offering. The Registration Statement was updated on
an annual basis because the business people involved were hopeful that pricing
issues could be resolved and the Product could be sold to the public. However,
this year all products have been reviewed as a result of acquisitions within the
American International Group, Inc. family of companies. The product review
confirmed that this Product was not compatible with the products offered by a
newly-affiliated sister company. Therefore, the Registrant determined not to
proceed with the sale of the securities covered by the Registration Statement.

Accordingly, we respectfully request that the Commission grant an order for the
withdrawal of the Registration Statement and declare the withdrawal effective as
soon as possible.

Sincerely,

/s/ ROBERT B. SAGINAW
