You work for an international company and would like to spend six months working in 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

Dear Mr Jacob,

I am writing this letter to inform you about my desire to work in our company’s head office in Amsterdam for about six months.

Recently, our company has announced an extensive training programme on the techniques of developing new accounting software for mid-size business firms, and I would like to avail this opportunity. Our company now develops such software for only small firms at our local office and soon we will need to target large business entities.

The training programme is to be held at our head office from 10th of the next July. I would also like to add here that this particular training programme may prove out to be quite important for a software development team leader like me in showing the way to the junior team members and managing larger projects in the future.

I have already talked to my project manager to help my team members carry on their routine works without any hurdle, and he assured me that he would jump in to fill the void within the team in my absence. So, it would be great if you could arrange for my transfer so that I can join the training programme and bring innovations to our team.

Yours sincerely,

John Andrew
