A letter of accommodation is usually written by a person with a disability requesting reasonable accommodation for their situation. For example, if someone is in a wheelchair, they may write a letter of accommodation asking if they could be situated in an office that has a wheelchair ramp and adequate wheelchair facilities. It is usually in the best interest of the office manager to comply with these wishes, as it creates a productive workplace with happy workers

Tips for writing a letter of accommodation

-          Don’t be aggressive: don’t demand things; ask for consideration. This way, your wishes are more likely to be granted.

Capital Enterprises

745 Old Dear Lane
Red Hook, NY 12571

Dear Mrs. Herrera,

My name is Dave Green. I have been working for Capital Enterprises for the past 5 years.

I have recently been confined to a wheelchair. Therefore, I wish to request a few accommodations so that I may continue working at a high level of productivity. I have been working very hard for Capital Enterprises and I think my requests are reasonable.

1)        I wish to be moved to office building 3, which is fully wheelchair equipped.

2)      I wish to obtain a wheelchair parking permit, so I will have an easier time getting from the parking lot to my office.

I thank you for considering the above requests and I hope to hear from you shortly!

Thanks,

Dave
