I have been
employed by your company for over three years now, and I am sure you would
agree that I have become a valuable asset in the computer programming
department. During my tenure here, I have provided you with unwavering loyalty
and have been committed to working above and beyond the responsibilities of my
position. I have also used the full range of my capabilities to help make your
organization the successful enterprise it is today. My professionalism is above
reproach and my performance record speaks for itself. Routinely, I have taken
the initiative to seek out additional work assignments, and you have always
been able to count on me to get the job done right.
With that
being said, I want to take this opportunity to request a promotion and its
accompanying raise. I believe I have proven myself to be a loyal and dependable
employee who really deserves a promotion and a raise. The financial
compensation and greater challenges this would provide would make me feel that
I have made an important advancement in my career. I know that you will
understand that if you allow me the opportunity to spread my wings beyond my
present boundaries, I can provide even greater service to this company.
I ask you
to seriously consider my request. I suggest that we sit down together and
discuss the matter further. That way we could examine how granting this request
would not only benefit me personally, but the company's success and financial
growth as well.
Regards,
