Dear .......................,
Model Answer:
Dear Mr Abraham,
I am writing to express my interest in transferring to a different department within our company to further my career development. I am hoping that you will help me with that.
Over the past two years in my current role as an Assistant Project Manager, I have gained valuable experience in project management, client relations, data analysis and requirement analysis. This role has helped me develop a strong understanding of how our industry works and how to effectively carry out important projects, which I believe can be beneficial in other areas of our organization.
I am particularly interested in moving to the System Analysis and Development team because I believe my skills and experience align well with the work being done there. By making this transition, I can contribute fresh insights while also expanding my expertise, ultimately adding more value to the company. Additionally, a new challenge will allow me to grow professionally while remaining committed to our organization’s goals.
I deeply appreciate the opportunities I have had here and would love to continue my journey within the company. If possible, I would appreciate a discussion on how we can make this transition smooth and beneficial for both sides.
I look forward to your positive response.
Yours sincerely,
Eric Buchanan
I am writing to express my interest in being transferred to the Service Research and Development (R&D) department within our company to further my professional development. I hope this email finds you well and that you can maybe help me with that.
Over the past two years in my current role as director of sales at your company, I have developed strong skills in budget, contract, customer and even offer management. These different experiences have prepared me to take on new challenges and add value to my professional life. I am convinced that I am now ready to move on and take more responsibilitie s.
This move would also benefit the company by reducing the gap between customer insights and R&D - I will have to ensure services with market demand in mind. Also, if my transfer happens, you will not have to form other employees; I already know the challenges I will have to brave.
My desire to be transferred stems especially from my long commitment to Marshall's Company. I would rather grow my career here than anywhere else. I deeply trust our values and our culture and our mission.
I would also greatly appreciate it if I could have the chance to discuss all of that with you and to maybe explore how my skills could best serve another team. Please let me know a convenient time for us to connect.
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Best regards,
Léa Brelet - Director of Sales at Marsahall's Company.
