MEXICO CITY, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Margarita Perez, the head of the commercial arm of Mexican state energy company Pemex, has left her position, according to four sources with knowledge of the matter and one internal email.

PMI Comercio Internacional, as the entity is known, is responsible for importing refined fuels into Mexico and exporting crude oil, mainly the country's flagship Maya.

Perez, who took over as the head of the commercial arm at the start of the presidency of Claudia Sheinbaum, will be replaced by Adan Garcia of the Mexican finance ministry, three of the sources said.

Pemex did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
