[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient’s Name] [Recipient’s Position] [Company/Organization Name] [Company/Organization Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Recipient's Name], Subject: Request for Relief of Delegated Responsibilities I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request relief from certain delegated responsibilities outlined in my current role at [Company/Organization Name]. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I find myself overwhelmed, which is affecting my ability to effectively fulfill all duties assigned to me. Over the past several months, I have experienced a significant increase in workload due to organizational changes, staff reductions, and the introduction of new projects. While I have made every effort to manage these responsibilities efficiently, the current state of affairs is taking a toll on both my mental well-being and productivity. In light of the aforementioned challenges, I humbly request your understanding and support in relieving me of some of my delegated responsibilities temporarily. This relief would allow me to focus on critical tasks and priorities while maintaining the high standards of quality and excellence that are expected of me. To ensure a smooth transition and minimal disruption to ongoing projects, I have compiled a detailed list of responsibilities that I believe can be reassigned to other competent individuals within the organization. This list includes: 1. [First delegated responsibility] — [Brief description] 2. [Second delegated responsibility] — [Brief description] 3. [Third delegated responsibility] — [Brief description] By redistributing these specific tasks, I am confident that other team members will be able to handle them efficiently until I can regain control of my workload. Although I fully understand the importance of teamwork and collaboration, I believe that temporarily reducing my assigned responsibilities will allow me to better serve the organization in the long term. I kindly request that you review my proposal and consider my situation favorably. If you require any further information or would like to discuss this matter in person, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I am more than willing to provide additional details or suggest alternative solutions that could help alleviate the strain I am currently experiencing. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your consideration and support during this challenging time. Furthermore, I remain committed to contributing to the overall success of [Company/Organization Name] and believe that, with your guidance, we can find a solution that benefits both the organization and me. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, [Your Name]
