    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，
