An Effective Request Letter: Asking for a Salary Increase

Dear Sir, With all due respect, I would like to be considered for a salary increment. I am working as a Senior Planning Specialist in the Research Department and I have successfully implemented for the last 3 years cost-effective solutions for the interest and growth of our company. I am confident that I have put in my best efforts in all my years of service, I have always been a committed and reliable employee and will continue to do so. My last salary review was August 2004. Today, I am receiving a salary grade of $1,500 per month. I believe that an increase in my salary is now warranted. I hope you will take a favorable view in recognizing my earnest contributions to the company. I look forward to hearing from you very soon. Best Regards, Senior Employee
