Dear [Name of Addressee];

My name is [name] and I am a [position] at [name of company] since [date]. I am writing you for a request for a job transfer to our branch in [area or location]. 

I have enjoyed working for the company for the last [period], and while I appreciate all that I have learned during my tenure, I believe it best for me to transfer to another branch/department for personal reasons that I do not wish to disclose. I am happy with the work I have done with the company and I would very much like to continue doing so at the location/department, as requested.

The reasons for my request regarding a job transfer does not by any means show negativity toward the company. I do not wish to leave the colleagues who have helped mold me into the professional that I am now. However, I am confident in my knowledge of our day-to-day operations, as well as my communication skills with clients and colleagues alike.  I believe these will contribute positively to the improvement of the company and its staff at [requested location/department]. 

Thank you so much for your kind consideration regarding my request. If you have any questions, or need further assistance in the matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. We can arrange a meeting to discuss this matter further. I’m hoping for a positive response from you.

Sincerely,
[Your name and signature]
