Dear ____________,

Answer –

Dear Mr. Holmes,

I am writing to express my interest in exploring new opportunities in a different department within our organization for my career development.

Having been part of this company for the past two years, I have gained invaluable experience and knowledge in my current role as an electrical engineer. I have successfully honed my engineering skills, improved my ability to collaborate effectively with team members, and learnt how to work under pressure and still deliver results.

I believe moving me to the production department and giving me a new role would benefit the company as well because I can increase the efficiency and productivity of the employees. Since I know how the machinery works, along with the do’s and don’ts, I can help the workers get the most out of the machines. This could help us produce more units per day and generate more profits.

I have no desire to leave the company to move on to pastures new because I feel I can take the next step in my career in this company. Moreover, the work culture and the support from seniors, such as yourself, make working here enjoyable. My core values also align with the company’s, and I want to be a part of it so we can grow together.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

John Watson
