Before you send it

Lead with results, not needs. "Prices have gone up" is true for everyone; your results are yours alone.
Use numbers where you honestly can: work completed, time saved, customers handled.
Choose your moment: after a good result or at appraisal time, not during a crisis.
Ask for a meeting. A raise is usually agreed in a conversation, and the letter opens it.

This is a general format, written by us, to save you time. If the company has its own printed form, use that form. Last checked: 11 November 2026.
