Dear Sir
I have been in your service for the last ____________ (Years) as a Stenographer and getting ____________ (Amount) as salary per month. Six months back I was given a rise of ____________ (Amount), but my experience, nature of work, responsibilities and qualification deserve a better pay packet. You are aware that sometimes I have to remain in the office after usual working hours because of the pressure of work. Moreover, there has been a steep rise in the cost of living during the past ____________ (Months).
ADVERTISEMENTS:
There is another company willing to pay me ____________ (Amount) per month for a similar position and work. You are also aware that I have been given additional responsibility of looking after the work of ____________ (Name), the stenographer attached to our Marketing Manager since she has proceeded on Maternity Leave.
I am hard-working, sincere and take keen interest in my work. Although I am reluctant to leave this company, but I cannot ignore the higher salary being offered unless some immediate increase in my salary is granted here.
Therefore, I would be grateful if my request for immediate increase in my salary is favourably considered.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Yours faithfully,
(Your Name)
