Use this when you have identified an organisation you want to serve with and need them to formally request you from NYSC, or when you want to be moved from the PPA you were given. Address it to the head of the organisation; they in turn write to the State Coordinator.

My training in [course] and my experience in [one relevant skill or role] would allow me to contribute to [a specific team or area of the organisation]. If you are able to accept me, I would be grateful for a request letter addressed to the State Coordinator, NYSC [State] Secretariat, so that my posting can be effected.

What makes it work
- Name the department or work you would do. “Any available position” gets ignored.
- Attach your call-up letter, posting letter and CV.
- Deliver it in person to the HR office or the head’s secretary, and ask who will follow it up.
- Do this within the first week after camp. After the reposting window closes it becomes much harder.
