Lydia Smith,

Manager

XYZ Sales Company

321 South St.

Miami, FL 33125

Dear Lydia Smith,

I have greatly enjoyed working at XYZ Sales Company for the past three years. In those years, I have become an integral member of the sales team, and have developed innovative ways to contribute to the company.

Some of my goals I achieved in last year are:

  • Highest-ranking salesperson in customer satisfaction last quarter

  • Brought high-profile clients to the company, increasing total company sales revenue by 10%

  • Voluntarily trained incoming sales staff, totalling 80 hours of voluntary service

I believe that I have achieved the target set for my position when I arrived at the company three years ago.

I would therefore appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss increasing my salary so that it is commensurate with my current performance. I request a pay raise of six percent, which I believe reflects both my current competencies and industry averages.

Once again, I am grateful to be a member of this organization, and I enjoy taking on assignments that allow me to contribute to the company.

Thank you for your time. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Melody Brown
