Request Letter for Replacement of Resigned Staff

In all companies, staff members resign. This may be due to some reason. When a staff member resigns, the manager will need to ask for his/her replacement.

The staff member may be resigning because they have gotten a better job opportunity or maybe because they did not feel like they were getting paid enough. Whatever the reason, it is important to replace this staff member so that the workings of the office can continue smoothly.

The manager will need to write a request letter for the replacement of resigned staff. The letter may be written to the HR department asking them to look for a new employee to take the place of the person who has resigned.

You can briefly state the reasons why the staff member resigned which has resulted in you wanting to hire someone else. The letter is a formal and professional one and should be written like this. You must type it in a formal font like Times New Roman or Arial. The size can be 12 or 14. There must not be any spelling and grammar mistakes in the letter if you want it to be taken seriously.

It is important to immediately let the reader know what the letter is about, i.e., the replacement of resigned staff. Avoid including any unnecessary details as these can annoy the reader. In the letter, the reader must know why it is important for the staff member to be replaced quickly. You can say that it is necessary so that no pending work remains.
