Please leave my place, please leave my computer, get off my computer

One person was capturing my seat in a train. I went up to him and said "Please leave my place, it's my place".
Is it correct?
Can I also say like this "Please get off my place, it's my place".

Similarly, one day in my office, my colleague was occupying my computer so I went up to him and said "Please leave my computer". Sometimes I also say "please get off my computer".

I wonder if it's all correct.

Could you please have a look at those expressions and provide me with better versions?

If it's not a reserved seat, there is little you can do; you should not have left it. However, if you wish to pursue this, say ' Excuse me, but I was sitting there '. In your office, speaking to a colleague rather than a stranger, your remarks are far too rude.
