Dear Mr. Boss,
I am writing to formally request a review of my current salary. As an Account
Executive with 5 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
10% 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 $50,000 in annual revenue.
I managed the successful launch of our new product, helping to realize
$100,000 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 $65,000, according to data
from Payscale.com. This is more than 12% higher than my current salary of
$58,000. A 10% 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]
