The time-convolutionless master equation for the electronic populations is derived for a generic electron-phonon Hamiltonian. The equation can be used in the regimes where the golden rule approach is not applicable. The equation is applied to study the electronic relaxation in several models with the finite number normal modes. For such mesoscopic systems the relaxation behavior differs substantially from the simple exponential relaxation. In particular, the equation shows the appearance of the recurrence phenomena on a time-scale determined by the slowest mode of the system. The formal results are quite general and can be used for a wide range of physical systems. Numerical results are presented for a two level system coupled to Ohmic and super-Ohmic baths, as well as for a model of charge-transfer dynamics between semiconducting organic polymers.
