Sample letter:

Date

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to complain to you about the low salary. I would like to request a meeting to negotiate on it. I have been a sales manager in the sales department for the last seven years.

I recently discovered that my salary is not at the level of my position, and the increment in my salary is also too low.

I am ready to be evaluated if you find any problems with my performance. I am looking forward to speaking with you about this matter.

Yours sincerely.

Dear Sir, this letter intends to request you to increase my salary. It has been three years since I have worked at your institute. I was informed during my joining that the wage will increase every six months. It has been a year, but I am sticking to my old salary. It is tough for me to meet both ends within the given salary. I end up taking debt at the end of the month. With this message, I want to pay your attention to this matter. I hope you will seriously consider my request.

With this message, I want your attention towards my low salary. I want to meet you in person to thrash out things thoroughly. HR told me that my salary had been increased but was not credited to my account. I formally request that you please look into the matter and issue me a full salary. I am a salary-based person and meet all expenses within the given salary. With the current price hike, I am managing things with difficulty. It would be a great favour for me if you could look into the matter immediately.

I am David Kim, a sales assistant in your corporation. It is an honour to work under your guidance, and I am equipped with new learning skills. In our last meeting, you said that salaries would increase by next month. Nothing has been done in this regard, and I received a 10% reduction in my salary.

I talked with the branch manager about the matter, and he referred me to you. I want you to increase my current salary. I adapt to any role you want me to assume, and I always remain available in case of need. I hope this additional information will help you take the matter seriously.

#4

I want to draw your attention to a serious matter about my salary arbitration and ask if there is a probability of an increase in my salary. I provide my services as an accounts manager, and my salary is very low compared to that of my contemporaries. Due to the low salary budget, I am having great trouble managing expenses. If you are not satisfied with my work execution, then we can meet in person to discuss things. I am waiting eagerly for your response.

#5

This message serves to make you a formal request to increase my salary. I have taught computer science at your institute for over three years. The salary I am given is not according to my expectations. I even take extra classes when needed and remain available to students and staff whenever they need me. But I get a meagre salary that is not up to my mark. I request you to please do something in this regard and make a good increase in my salary.
