Mr. Smith

General Manager,

London Bank (A branch)

London

Dear Mr. Smith,

It is already 4 years that I have been working at this branch and I was devoted to our organization during all these years. Next month I am moving with my family to Cambridge since my wife had been offered a job there. This job opportunity is great and she was searching for that for a long time. The company had no any branches in London, therefore our family shuld move to Cambridge. For that reason, I request you to consider my job transfer to the branch in Cambridge. The transfer will be very beneficial for me. I do not want to quit the organization, which I am so loyal with and the work for the Bank in other city can be a solution.

I hope for you understanding. Please, consider my request.

Sincerely,

John Baker

If any employee himself/herself wants to take transfer from one branch to another then he/she write a transfer application letter by the name of his/her senior stating the reason behind taking transfer. While writing this letter take into consideration that you yourself want to take transfer thus the approach should be polite and request to be made to the senior authority.

Subject: TRANSFER APPLICATION LETTER

Dear, Ms. Debra

I am Ms. Della R. Rider working with this company since 4 years as a senior accountant and I enjoy every moments of all these years in this company. I share impressive relation with all my colleagues as well as with my senior staff. I am satisfied with the work and work environment which I got here. But now I want myself to be transferred to our New York branch I have a valid and genuine reason behind this. As I am getting married to a man who resides at New York since his childhood and also work there in a company named as Franco New York Pvt. Ltd. He cannot leave his job for me as he stays there with his family. I am aware of it that our company owns one of its branch there in New York hence I want to make an application to you that kindly transfer me to that branch. I expect you will understand my situation and response the needful for the same.

Thanking You

Yours Sincerely,

Ms. Della R. Rider

A Transfer Letter is the one that is given to an employee when s/he is being transferred to another branch or another department of the same organization. The reasons why this is primarily given to an employee are:

• To complete paper formalities of an organization
• To put it on record of the individual’s file that s/he has been transferred from one branch/department to the other
• To ensure that the individual who has been transferred her/his salary account also indicates the change
• To reduce head count of one department and add to the head count of the other one

A Transfer Letter is an official letter but the transfer could be on mutually agreed terms between the employee and organization or it could also be only the decision of the organization. Most organizations when they get the acknowledgement of the offer letter from the employee, they also put a clause saying that the employee should be open to the idea of being transferred to any branch or department of the organization whenever needed.

A Transfer Letter should be short and brief. Since it is an internal official letter it need not be very detailed. It should basically give the name of the individual being transferred, the department to/from where s/he is being transferred, the effective date of transfer and the name of the person who s/he will be reporting after the transfer.

DO’S AND DON’T’S OF TRANSFER LETTER

• Since a Transfer Letter is an internal official letter it need not be very detailed but should just have the basic information
• It can be in a Memo format also since it is an internal communication
• A Transfer Letter should clearly give the date when it has been issued
• It should also give the date when the employee joins the other branch or department
• If any perks or benefits come with the transfer then that too should reflect in the letter
• It is always better to first verbally inform the individual who is being transferred and the Transfer Letter to be handed over later
• Even though it is an internal letter make sure that there are no grammatical or punctuation errors
• This letter should preferably be given in advance so that the employee can make any arrangements if required
• A Transfer Letter should also give the reason why one particular individual is being transferred
• The support that the organization is due to give to the employee being transferred should also be mentioned in the letter
