Sir/Madam:

Greetings of Peace and Love!

I, DEPEDTAYO, Teacher I and currently teaching at Upper Manguiles and Pilas Elementary School heartily applying for transfer of teaching station either Panagaan or Kaangayan Elementary School for the following reasons to wit:

1. That I am teaching in my present station for three (3) year with utmost dedication and much achievement;
2. That I am a bonafide resident of Panagaan, Mahayag Zamboanga del Sur and I am pretty sure that I can extend many services even beyond official hours for the benefits of the children and safer travel in going home;
3. That it is my great opportunity because my present station is far from my residence hence time and travel expenses could be of great help for the education of my children.
4. Being a mother, I have my children that need my attention and care.

It is my fervent hope and prayer that this humble request will be given meritorious favor from your very good office.

Sincerely yours,

DEPEDTAYO
Teacher I
