Relieving Letter Request Email Format
A relieving letter request email should confirm three things in the opening lines: the date you resigned, your last working day, and that your handover is complete. Those are exactly the facts HR checks before releasing the document.

Common questions
When should I ask for my relieving letter?
In your last week, not after you leave. Once your corporate email is deactivated your request has to go through a personal address, which usually adds delay.
What if the company does not issue one?
Ask for whatever they will issue in writing — an acceptance-of-resignation email, an experience letter, or a full and final settlement statement. Most new employers accept a combination when a formal relieving letter is unavailable.
Can I get relieved before my notice period ends?
Only with your employer's agreement. Many contracts allow you to pay the balance of the notice period in lieu — offering that up front is usually what unlocks an early release.
