Context:
I want to switch from “Inventory-Maintenance” to “Inventory-Sales”, and asking my manager about the possibility of this change (from his perspective is this possible). I am not mentioning my current career/profession/line because I have been in this for the past 10 years, and he knows this.

I would like to ask you to consider about the possibility of switching to Sales for me.

Best regards

What about this simple sentence (structurally), Alan? Doesn’t it carry the intended meaning and politeness?
I would like you to consider the possibility of my switching to Sales.
