The third one is correct. You are requesting for a redesignation of your appointment to strative staff. That is, you want to be an istrative staff instead, since you arent one now. You don't redesignate as, you reedesigae to.

Pls I need more enlightenment here. I think the issue now is between "to" and "as"

To the best of my knowledge, the appropriate preposition for redesignation is "as" and not "to", hence my previous contribution...

You also noticed I dropped "my appointment" that's because a subject doesn't need to be long and tacky. I am a language instructor, so take it from me. But in the Nigerian context, I reckon nobody would pay serious attention to your choice of words as long as it makes sense.

All the best.

The country is on fire. rape case increases every day and see what you are bringing up for debate.

Can't we debate on causes of rape and how to stop it?

Anyways the first one is correct. Put the article an in your statement unless you are the only staff

Both these forms are correct:

Request for the redesignation of my appointment to istrative staff
Request for the redesignation of my appointment as istrative staff

In the first, redesignation is a verb. I prefer it because it emphasizes change from-to
In the second, redesignation is a state of being. It doesn't really emphasize the change. It can be ambiguous: redesignate (to what?) as istrative staff.

You also won't use the form with "an istrative staff", because staff is plural. (e.g. a member of staff; a staff member; but not a staff)
