You work for an international company and would like to spend six months working on its head office in another country. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter • explain why you want to work in the company’s head office for six months • say how your work could be done while you are away • asked by his/her help in arranging it
Dear Mr. Adams,
I am writing to express my interest in the opportunity to spend six months working at our head office in Germany.
Working at the head office would provide me with a deeper understanding of the company’s
overall
strategy, and would allow me to work more closely with senior leaders and other key stakeholders. Additionally
, I believe that the experience would be beneficial for building a global network of professional contacts.
I understand that my absence may cause some inconvenience for my team, but I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition and the continuation of my work. I could work with my colleagues to identify the most critical tasks and projects that need to be completed during my absence, and to set up clear communication channels to stay informed and provide guidance as needed.
I would be grateful for your help in arranging this
opportunity and for your consideration of my request. Please let me know if you need any additional information or if there is anything else I can do to facilitate the process.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Mark WebsterSubmitted by amandacflago23 on
