Dear [Manager/HR name],

I am writing to request a change to my working arrangements. I would like to request flexible working in the following way:

Current working pattern: [e.g., Mon–Fri 9:00–17:30 in office]
Requested working pattern: [e.g., Mon–Thu 8:00–16:30, Fri 8:00–13:00 / 2 days home, 3 days office]
Requested start date: [DD Month YYYY]

The reason for my request is: [Brief reason].

I believe this change can work well for the team and the business because:

• [Point 1 – how work will be covered/managed]
• [Point 2 – impact on availability, meetings, customers]
• [Point 3 – how you will maintain performance/communication]

To help make this transition smooth, I propose a review period of [e.g., 8–12 weeks], after which we can review how it is working and make any adjustments if needed.

Please confirm the next steps for considering this request and whether you need any further information from me.

Yours sincerely,
[Your full name]
[Your job title]
