Subject: Time to talk about my pay
Hi Mere,
Could we set aside half an hour before the review round next month to talk about my pay?
Since my last review I have cut month-end close from six days to four, and rebuilt the arrears report the finance team now reads every week, and I would like to walk you through the last year and what I am asking for.
Let me know a time that suits.
Kind regards,
Sam Hollis
Ask for a meeting, then make the case in person with your number ready. Say the number first in the meeting; leave it out of this email.
Your wins should each have a result you can point to. After the meeting, send a short note confirming what was agreed and when you will talk again.
