Dear [Mention the name of the recipient],

The previous (number of years) years with (company name) have been quite enjoyable for me. I created creative strategies to benefit the organization during that time and became a crucial part of the (team name) team.

For instance, I have succeeded in the following objectives just in the last year:

  • highest-ranking salesperson last quarter in terms of client satisfaction
  • Brought in two new high-profile clients for the business, increasing sales revenue overall by (percent)%.
  • (Total hours) hours of volunteer work went into training new sales personnel.

I think I’ve exceeded the expectations we had for my job when I started at the company (number of years) years ago.

Therefore, I would value the chance to speak with you about raising my pay so that it is in line with my present performance. I ask for a compensation increase of (percent)% because I feel that it accurately represents my current skill set and sector norms.

Once more, I want to express my gratitude for being a part of this company and how much I appreciate taking on tasks that allow me to make a difference for it.

I appreciate your time. We’ll talk soon, and I’m looking forward to it.

Dear [Mention the name of the recipient],

I wanted to send you a note to see if we can schedule a meeting to talk about my compensation now that the (mention the name of the project) project is behind us and we’re all getting back into our normal routines.

As you are aware, I began working for (mention the name of the company or organization) Corp. (Mention the total number of years) years ago as an intern, joining the company at a somewhat below-average pay rate with the agreement that we would discuss my pay again at my next review. Naturally, we’ve all been too busy since then to think much about anything save meeting our deadlines.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had the chance to begin my career with mentors like you and (mention the name of the other mentor) and to continue learning in a business that is expanding so quickly. I’ve happily worn numerous hats over the last (mention the total number of years) years, including project lead on our most recent one.

I’ve also never fallen short of deadlines and have consistently outperformed my own expectations. I’ve also been honing my talents by enrolling in (mention the name of the design course) design courses.

According to my analysis, a (mention the total percentage)% rise would be appropriate. I would adore the chance to speak with you face-to-face and discuss this.

Dear [Mention the name of the recipient],

I’m writing to ask for a formal review of my present pay. (Year) years as an account executive at (company name) have given me the experience necessary to be ready and equipped to take on new tasks and responsibilities. I think an analysis of my performance history with the company, my most recent successes, and industry average compensation will show justification for a rise of at least (percent)% in my yearly salary.

Since I first joined (company name), my role has changed. (Job role), budgeting and employee management have all been added responsibilities. I have distinguished myself during the past year by achieving the following:

  • I increased the accounts payable system’s efficiency and helped the business save $(amount) annually.
  • I oversaw the new product’s successful launch and contributed to the $(amount) in quarterly sales.
  • I’ve worked hard to achieve greatness, kept bringing new ideas to the business, and never missed a deadline.
  • According to peer ratings, my coworkers value my contribution to the team and my management style.

Furthermore, (website) data shows that the average yearly compensation for my position is $(amount). This is more than (percent)% more than the $(amount) I currently make. A (percent)% pay increase would bring my compensation into line with the region’s and the industry’s standards for the job.

I appreciate you giving this issue your attention. In order to satisfy both my desire and what is best for the business, I am willing to work with you.
