Dear Mr. Johnson

I hope this letter finds you well.

I am writing to you because i would like to work in another country at company’s head office for six months to gain new experience. Additionally I want to change the scenery a bit which i hope that you can help me organise it.

I have decided to work at the company’s head Office to advance in my career by enhancing my skills from learning from other employees . This experience will contribute significantly to my professional growth. I have chosen a six-month period because it is an ideal duration to fully succeed in learning the proposed material and to absorb valuable insights from the company’s leaders.

I will be far away for some time and,obviously I thought of a plan such as remote working.For example, I can have online client meeting calls. I also created some apps that would help me to communicate easily with my colleagues, even if i am in another country.

I’m sure that my absence will not cause any problems to our company and moreover to the team’s productivity.If you agree with this proposal , then I would like you to come with some suggestions on how I should proceed.

Thank you in advance for considering my request and i really look forward to hearing your advices on that matter

Sincerely, Harry Potter.
