Dear …
I enjoy my job at __(Name of Company)__ and am glad to be on board.  This is definitely a good company to work for.  Unfortunately, however, I have found that I am really struggling with the __(type/name)__ shift that I am scheduled on. 
The reason this __(type/name)__ is not working well for me is because __(briefly describe why it’s not working for you.)__.  I find that I never get the opportunity to __(list some things that you need to be allowed to do)__.  With this shift, it becomes increasingly more difficult to __(briefly describe what it is inhibiting in your life)__.  
Therefore, I am requesting that you consider changing my hours to the __(type/name)__ shift.  This would remove the hardship I am currently experiencing with trying to maintain my current work hours.  I would be so grateful to you if you could find a way to make these changes for me Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.  I remain hopeful of your decision. 
Respectfully yours,
