I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally request a voluntary demotion from my current position as [Your Current Job Title] back to [Desired Job Title]. After careful consideration, I believe this change is necessary for my personal and professional well-being.

Reason for Demotion:
Over the past [Duration in Current Position], I have realized that the responsibilities and expectations of my current role are not aligning with my personal career goals and work-life balance. While I am grateful for the opportunities afforded to me in this role, I believe that returning to [Desired Job Title/Previous Position] would allow me to utilize my skills more effectively and contribute positively to the team.

Transition Plan:
I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition. I propose the following plan to facilitate the handover of my responsibilities:

• Complete any outstanding projects by [Completion Date].
• Assist in training a replacement or handing off responsibilities to team members.
• Provide a detailed report outlining my current tasks and processes.

Conclusion:
I truly appreciate your understanding and support regarding this decision. I believe that this change will allow me to thrive and be a more effective member of our team. I would be grateful if we could discuss this further at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
