Many thanks for the quick response.

Dear A and B, (I have the HR names)

I'm <name>, final year graduate student from <college>. I'm currently offered position of <profile name> at B.

This mail is regarding my request for change of the workplace. At first I was offered <profile name> profile based in A, which I think was only a tentavive location. Few days ago I received an email confirming the job location as B. I'm writing this mail because of personal reasons. My mother who is currently divorced and single, needs my assistance as my only sister is currently staying abroad. I hope you understand the situation and take this request up to the concerned personnel.

Hoping for your consideration and waiting anxiously for the response.

Sincere regards,

<name>

The main reason I want the workplace change is mentioned in the letter. I'm not confident as in how convincingly I was able to put it to them though. Thanks in advance for any help.

Dear Mr A and Ms B,

ABC Company has kindly offered me the position of <profile name> at B, and this mail is an urgent request for a change of workplace. Initially, I was offered <profile name> profile based in A, which I think was indeed only a tentative location. However, a few days ago I received your email confirming the job location as B.

I am very eager to accept a position with ABC Company, but I am making this unusual request for a personal reason: my mother is divorced and needs my assistance, as my only sister now lives abroad, so it is very difficult for me to relocate at this time. I hope you can take into consideration my situation and find it possible to assign me to A instead.

I am extremely grateful for your time and trouble in reviewing this condition of your offer, and I am waiting anxiously for your response.

Sincere regards,

<name>

The main reason I want the workplace change is mentioned in the letter. I'm not confident as in how convincingly I was able to put it to them though.-- This is an unusual decision for the company to face. Although I think your letter as amended is as innocently convincing as can be devised, don't be surprised if they cannot accede to your request.

Dear Sir:

I have been offered a job as an IT GS 07 position in Austin, Texas but I prefer to have the same position in Houston, Tx. I prefer this IT position in Houston, Texas because this is where my residence and family is located. The Houston location assist in with providing help for family members with medical concerns throughout the week and weekends. The Houston location will allow to pursue employment and assist family in need of medical issues. This location is less financial challenging for my family. I thank you in advance for handling this request.

Respectfully yours,

H.S.
