When writing a salary request letter, be clear and polite. Start by explaining the reason for the letter. Mention your current position, how long you’ve worked there, and the reason you believe a salary adjustment is fair. Give simple reasons like good performance, added duties, or market standards. Do not use unclear words or forget to mention key things like your current salary or how to contact you. Always keep the tone respectful and professional.
