Sample Job Transfer Request Letter due to Personal Reasons
Concentrating on your job while
living away from your family is difficult and sometimes your family needs you
while it may be facing problems. This is situation many young professionals
find themselves in. Your work takes you places but also keeps you away from
family. Often multinational organisations have an internal transfer policy to
allow you to move to an office in the city of your choice.
The reason for requesting a transfer
can be any of the following.
1. Your family is facing some problems
such as prolonged illness in the family
2. You are getting married and want to
settle in the city of your choice
3. Your spouse has got a new job in a
different city and you wish to shift your location
4. You are simply not happy with the
city you are living in or have become homesick
Its time you wrote your transfer
request letter. Before writing the letter make sure you find out about your
organisation’s transfer policies and would your transfer entail a change in job
profile or change in teams.

Dear Ranjan
Hope you find this letter in good
health.
I am writing to you to request a
transfer to our Mumbai office after the completion of the ongoing phase of our
project by the end of September. As you know I am planning to get married by
the end of this year and my spouse and family are well settled in Mumbai. I
wish to initiate my personal transfer as per the company policy which allows
relocation upon marriage.
Since our team does not work out of
the Mumbai office I understand that I will have to join the new project team in
Mumbai. Please let me know to whom I should initiate the knowledge transfer sessions
to take over my responsibilities.
It was a wonderful experience working
with this team and I have cherished memories here. But it’s time to devote
quality time to my family.
Kindly accept my transfer request and
initiate my transfer formalities.
Thank you and wish you the very best.
Please let me know if any official information is required from my end to
initiate the transfer.
Warm Regards!
