Hi,
Here are some suggestions.
Clive
Dear Sir
, <<<< use your boss's name, if you know itI would like to request that I be considered for a salary increment.
The cost of living has become very high, with price increases for petrol and food, and this has really has put a strain onn my earnings.
I am prepared to take more responsibility, and I will continue to be the valued, hard working, committed, reliable and honest employee that I have always been.
I look forward to your positive response.
Yours sincerely,
