Dear Sir,
I would like to apply for a salary increase, and I am submitting the following information in support of my application.
I hope you will consider that I have been working at X Catering Maintenance for the past eleven years. In that time I have proved to be sincere in my work and loyal to the company. I am a senior employee and I believe that my experience brings benefits to the company. I understand that you are satisfied with my work. To this end, I would like to request that the company recognize my commitment and provide me with adequate benefits.
I am confident that you will consider my request with sincerity and look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully, _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Hi Thiyages,
A point to bear in mind when writing a letter such as this or indeed a letter applying for a job is to avoid using the
personal pronoun 'I' too often.

| In my experience, using "I" in this sort of letter has been fine. It's entirely about you. Academic writing is another matter. |

It's not a rule but based on my reading of many applications for jobs.

Your personal preference then. Fine. We are all entitled to our own opinions based on our own experiences. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Hi Guys, I really like this one/I mean Thiyages version/. I have only one note to this version of sal. incr. letter. At the end of the letter, maybe a "thank you very much in advance" would be a more polite one, than the original thanks form. I'm really looking forward to having your comments. all the best, N |
