letter to ask for a salary raise Many of us do not even think about asking for a raise, maybe because we
know it can be automatically denied or perhaps just because any of the
workers are really indispensable for the company, for that reason, if we
are not satisfied with our salary or even with our job, then they can
hire another person and we are going to find ourselves kicking cans at
the street.
Remember, before asking for a salary raise, you should really think
about why you need it, it is not necessary to start the drama by telling
to your boss about your personal or money troubles. You will have more
chances to obtain the salary raise if your words a clear and
well-explained.
I will show you an example of a letter to ask for a salary raise,
remember, it may work or not, it depends of you, your manners and the
time when you ask for it:

Dear Mr .Mario Suarez,
Through this letter I would like to let you know about my salary
raise request, when I was hired as a writer of the Economical Section,
in 2006, the contract said that the company has a commitment with me to
increase my salary when the first year was successfully done. Since
then, I have been performing my duty efficiently (you must add the
proofs of your good development) and even the past year I was promoted
as chief Editor of the Economical Section, a new responsibility I took
with proud and happiness.
However, my salary keeps the same way since the last 4 years, for
that reason, I ask you to check carefully my career line on the company
and the amount of my salary.
Waiting for your sooner answer, I shall say good bye and thanks for your time.
