My current position is [current job title] ; however, for the last year I have been performing all of the duties of a [job title you are requesting] without having the job title or, of course, being paid commensurate with it. My responsibilities and achievements that call for a promotion include:
· [Responsibility or achievement exceeding your current position]
· [Responsibility or achievement exceeding your current position]
· [Responsibility or achievement exceeding your current position]
· [Responsibility or achievement exceeding your current position]
Based on the feedback that I have received, I believe that you and your manager think I have been performing excellently the duties of this higher position. I expect that you will give my request all due consideration as soon as possible.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
