Please clarify whether you were placed in the Private or Government Sector.

If in the Private Sector, please submit a detailed request letter with proper medical proof (Doctor's certificate/lab reports confirming the illness). The letter may be addressed to your Head of Department with a copy to HR. The content of the letter can be:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to humbly present the following for your kind consideration. Very recently, I have been diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer with LN Mets Stage 3, and the copy of the Doctor's certificate/lab reports is attached herewith.

In light of the above, I hereby request you to transfer me from [current department name] to [new department name] as I will have to undergo [brief details about treatment]. I hope my request for transfer to [department name] will be considered on a humanitarian basis.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

(Your Name)
