[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Designation] [Organization] [Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Request for Retirement — Medical Reasons Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally request retirement from my position at [Organization] due to medical reasons. I have thoroughly considered all possible options and come to the difficult decision that retiring is the best course of action to prioritize my health and well-being. After serving [Organization] for [number of years] years and dedicating myself wholeheartedly to my responsibilities, it is unfortunate that my declining health has forced me to make this choice. Throughout my tenure, I have greatly valued the opportunities for personal and professional growth that [Organization] has provided me with. I am grateful for the support and camaraderie I have experienced during my time here. For the past few months, I have been battling a chronic medical condition that has worsened over time. Despite seeking expert medical intervention and following prescribed treatments, my condition continues to impact my ability to perform my duties effectively. Due to the unpredictable nature of my illness and the need for frequent medical appointments and rest, it has become increasingly challenging to fulfill my obligations satisfactorily. Although it deeply saddens me to leave a position that I have grown so fond of, it would be unfair to both myself and the organization to continue under these circumstances. With retirement, I will be able to focus solely on my health and work towards a full recovery without the added stress and demands of professional obligations. I would like to sincerely express my gratitude for the support and understanding of [Organization]'s management and staff during this difficult period. I kindly request that my retirement be effective as of [desired retirement date], allowing sufficient time for a smooth transition of my responsibilities to a suitable replacement. Furthermore, I would be more than willing to assist in any way possible to ensure a seamless transition during this critical time. As per [Organization]'s retirement policy, I understand that I am entitled to the benefits and privileges associated with retirement. I kindly request the necessary guidance and assistance in initiating the retirement process, including the completion of any required paperwork or formalities. I have attached all relevant medical documentation, including a letter from my treating physician, verifying the extent of my medical condition and its impact on my ability to continue working. Please treat this request with the utmost confidentiality, as I have not yet disclosed my decision to my colleagues. I want to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to [Organization] for providing me with a challenging and rewarding career. This decision has not been easy, but my health and well-being are my utmost priority at this time. I will forever cherish the memories, skills, and experiences gained during my time here, and I am confident that [Organization] will continue to thrive under the capable hands of its dedicated employees. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your positive response regarding my retirement request. Please feel free to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address] if you require any additional information or have any concerns. Kind regards, [Your Name]
