Request for an Increase in Salary

要求增加工资

Dear Mr Browning

My present appointment carries an annual salary of £18,500; this was reviewed in March last year.

During my five years with the company, I feel I have carried out my duties conscientiously and have recently acquired additional responsibilities.

　　I feel that my qualifications and the nature of my work justify a higher salary and I have already been offered a similar position with another company at a salary of £20,000 per annum.

　　My present duties are interesting and I thoroughly enjoy my work. Although I have no wish to leave the company, I cannot afford to turn down this offer unless some improvement in my salary can be arranged.

　　I hope a salary increase will be possible, and look forward to hearing from you soon.

　　Yours sincerely
