Dear Sir,

I would like to convey my profound thanks to you for considering me for the post of Jr. Executive (IT) in your esteemed organization. The reputation of this organization, the potential for growth, and my confidence in my ability to contribute to the organizational goals have driven me to join this organization.

I am confident that I have put in my effort wholeheartedly during the last 1.5 years for the substantial contribution to the development efforts of the company through my qualifications and experience.

Sir, the present salary is not adequate to manage my expenditure in the current situation. Therefore, I request that you may be pleased to increase my salary in support of the additional works being handled by me.

I trust that my application would be auspiciously considered, and my request acceded to.

Thanking you in anticipation,

With Regards,

Yours Faithfully,

Jr. Executive (IT)
