Introduction

There comes a time in life when everybody has to relocate to an entirely new destination. This can be unnerving, but it has to be done. It may be due to personal reasons such as family or professional reasons where the organization wants you to relocate to a new location or branch for work purposes.

Regardless of whatever the reason is, you as an individual, if you are not happy with the current place, have the right to write to the authorities regarding a case of relocation where they consider your application and look into it to relocate you accordingly. A request for this, however, needs to be placed well in advance. The timeline to put in this request varies from organization to organization. It is advised to mention the reason for which you wish to relocate as well. Given below is a sample letter for reference. Follow it to write your personalized version!

Subject: Request for Relocation

To Whom So Ever it may Concern,

Respected Sir/ Ma’am

My name is Ramesh Singh, and I have been working with Coca Cola’s marketing team for the past seven years. My time here has been incredibly enlightening. Coke has given me an opportunity to work on my existing skills in a way to hone new skills altogether. The learning experience has been great, all supplemented by a plethora of excellent opportunities.

However, last week my wife received an offer letter from BCG Mumbai. She has been promoted to the level of Regional head, which will require her to shift to the Mumbai office.

Due to this, I will also be shifting to Mumbai to be with her and my kids. As I will not be able to continue my job here at Gurgaon, I request you to kindly consider my application to relocate me to Coca Cola’s Mumbai office. I spoke to the vice president of the marketing department who said it is possible.

I request you to process my application and let me know at the earliest if it is a possibility. I have attached my Resume and Cover letter below. My employee ID number is CC12383BB.

I thank you in advance for considering my application.

Ramesh Singh
