Dear Mr. Boss,
I am writing to formally request a review of my current salary.
As an Account Executive with [ ] years at Acme Corporation, I have always
been ready and able when asked to take on additional work and new job
responsibilities. I believe a review of my track record with the company, my
recent achievements, along with industry average salaries, will demonstrate
justification for an increase of at least [ ]% in my annual pay.
My role has evolved since starting with Acme Corporation. Added
duties now include staff management, budget decisions, and project management.
In the past year, I have distinguished myself with the following
accomplishments:
- I improved
efficiencies in the accounts payable system, saving the company $ [ ] in
annual revenue.
- I managed
the successful launch of our new product, helping to realize $[ ] in
quarterly sales.
- I’ve
strived for excellence, continued adding value to the company, and never
missed a deadline.
- Peer
reviews indicate that my colleagues appreciate my management style and I
am a valuable member of the team.
Further, the average annual salary for my position is $[ ],
according to data from Payscale.com. This is more than [ ] % higher than my
current salary of $[ ]. A [ ]% raise in salary is would put my compensation in
line with industry and regional expectations for the work.
Thank you for your attention in this matter. I am willing to
work with you to accommodate my request along with what is best for the
company. If you have another amount in mind or a plan to increase my salary in
the future, I am open to negotiation.
Sincerely,
Signature [for hard copy letter]
