Request a salary adjustment after receiving an excellent performance review that demonstrates your hard work and commitment.
Dear [Manager Name],
As I approach my second year in the job [Change the duration according to your situation], I find myself more dedicated, more devoted and more motivated than I ever was. My dedication is clearly translated in the last performance review I had. I am thrilled to the fact that my efforts have been sensed and this will only result in enhanced performance. The performance review demonstrates how hard I worked and how much commitment I am willing to put. [You need to write two or three sentences about the performance review. When it happened. What was the exact result. etc..]
I hope you agree with me that better performance and hard work should be rewarded. I hereby kindly ask you to consider a salary adjustment commensurate with my performance. I am willing to give more and would be grateful if my efforts can be acknowledged and consequently reflected with an appropriate change in my pay.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
