dear manager,
i make bold to write this letter to you. one year ago i joined your firm as an apprentice, receiving $ 500 per month during the period of training. now i became a full-time clerk afterwards for a few days, but my salary has remained the same. as the cost of living is rising, would you consider an increase of my salary? i will not wonder too much but the same as other clerks in our firm. i pledge myself to continue to serve the firm to the best of my ability .
many thanks
yours faithfully,
