Salary Request Letter

Dear Sir, First and foremost I would like to express my delight of being part of this company and I am very grateful for the opportunity to work in your team for the last 5 years as a Service Technician. To return the favor, I have always given the best of my abilities in this position and I always worked hard to make sure my performance stays rising. As you are aware, that my family is here with me now and due to the high cost of living. I find it difficult to manage my financial responsibilities here and back home in the Manila with basic salary of $2000. In addition, my contract is up for renewal and I will be meeting with the company representative for a job offer because of that I was expecting a customary salary review. If there is no reason preventing such a review, I would like to kindly ask you to consider my request due to my steady performance and the customary increase in cost of living. Therefore I kindly request for an additional $1000 raise in my salary. This will bring stability and pleasant environment to my social and working life. Your kind consideration and support in this matter is highly appreciated. Sincerely yours, Peter

I do not like this from a presentation standpoint (and you have grammatical errors that do not help either) Your personal problems ("family is here", "high cost of living") are not justification for a salary increase. Your company could care less about your personal problems. They are more interested in: what is your performance, your loyalty to the company, your experience, growth potential, and of course, what is the going salary for this position?

  • I dont think they care about your english that much, so I would suggest working on the intent.
  • have you talked to your peers?
