and would prefer to work at our head office for six months.

To begin

with my existing role, I have been working as an Accountant since January 2000 in Sri Lanka.

Firstly

, as an individual to develop in my next role, I require diversified exposure.

Hence

, working at our head office would allow me to gain

this

experience.

Secondly

, it is important for me to develop my relationships with UK business partners.

Finally

, I am enrolling myself for a course at Oxford University in London.

Therefore

, it would be a benefit for me to work in the UK at our head office for six months.

Also

, I have decided how my work could be covered

while

I am away. At the moment, there are two employees in my team with extra capacity.

Therefore

, during my absence, I could assign my responsibilities to them with your approval. As per the company policy, I need your approval for

this

transfer.

Also

, it would be great if you could speak with our Director in charge about

this

so that it could expedite the company procedures which will allow me to apply for the UK visa. I look forward to hearing from you, and if you need any

further

information, please do not hesitate to contact me Yours sincerely, Isuru Bandara
