  dear ms. lucas,
  i'm writing to apply for being transferred to the marketing department.
  i have been working for almost three years in the sales department, rising from an entry level salesperson to the assistant to the general manager. i cherish all these happy memories of working along with the other colleagues, and they will always remain with me. i am sad to leave the sales department, but i look forward to improve myself with the greater challenge of new duties.
  i can assure you that i am definitely not of the kind of person who rushes into decisions. on the contrary, i have thought twice about my application. i am sure to gain a better understanding about sales and marketing after being transferred to the marketing department.
  i would appreciate it if you could give a positive reply at your earliest convenience.
  yours truly,
  sophia grayson
