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

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.

Both these forms are correct:

Request for the redesignation of my appointment to administrative staff
Request for the redesignation of my appointment as administrative 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 administrative staff.

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