I would be more than grateful If any of you good-hearted people could correct this formal letter:
To .......
I am writing to request a change of shift. At the moment I am scheduled to work at night from 22:00 till 06:00 and I have done so for over a year, initially through an agency and subsequently as a permanent employee. During this time I have strived to perform my job to best of my abilities always keeping in mind our company’s wellbeing.
Given the fact that during the last two months I have worked roughly over 100 hours of overtime, which means that I have been starting work at 18:00 with the rest of workers who normally work 4on-4off shift, and will most likely continue to work that way, I believe it would be more convenient for me, and more reasonable, if I could work 4on-4off shift permanently. I would also like to mention the fact that at the moment, apart from ordinary order picking in the ambient area, I perform many other duties around the warehouse, including quality checking and doing ‘sweeps’, which involve driving a reach truck and working in a freezer for a considerable length of a shift. I strongly believe that the company would benefit much more from my commitment and effort If I was on a 4on-4off night shift.
I fully understand the requirements of the job, as I have been working at this company for over a year and will do my best to continue working to the standard of the company. I have spoken to my immediate superior, and he has encouraged me to put forward a request for a change of shift.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Yours sincerely ,
