passive sentence
I got confused when I was talking with my friend. The context was that my boss was considering who was qualified to transfer to other office. I was one of the candidates to be transferred. The other day I wanted to say to my friend that if I was chosen to be sent, I would start to prepare for the life there.
My question is that "I was chosen to be sent" is correct, rather than "I was chosen to send"? I got confused because I didn't know if I need to use two passive voices.
Thanks,

yes, I was chosen to be sent (to the other office) Is right. If you say „I was chosen to send“ that means you are sending something. „I was chosen to send my favorite member of staff to the new office.“
