Introduction:

A request for promotion letter is written by an employee to the employer when he thinks that he needs to be promoted due to his dedication to the company and if he feels like he has been stuck in the same place for a long time without any growth or incentive.A request for Promotion letter is usually rare unless certain circumstances compel the employee to ask for a promotion. The letter should state the reason(s) for the promotion request clearly and professionally so that the company does not feel put off by the promotion request but will act favorably on the promotion request. The letter should state all the reasons why the employee thinks he needs to be promoted. He should mention what all he did for the company recently which calls for a promotion.

This letter is a request letter so it must be written as politely as possible so that the request is taken upon action positively. The letter should be written in the correct format and in a formal tone. Do not compare yourself to your colleagues in this letter because that might come forward as a put-off. Be professional and show why you are worthy of getting a promotion.

Arlington Real Estate

Dear Sir

Re: Request for Promotion

I am writing to make a bold request. I would like to request your kind consideration of promoting me to the currently vacant position of Sales Manager.

It has been four months since Mr. Jimmy Myers has left the company, and his position of Sales Manager is now vacant. Many customers have been calling in to speak with the Sales Manager to close some deals. They are unwilling to speak with Sales Executive.

I believe I am qualified to take on Mr. Myers’ responsibilities as Sales Manager as I have been with the organization for more than five years. I have also assisted Mr. Myers in closing many big deals. I am familiar with all our major clients and have no issue servicing them.

I hope you will consider my promotion request favorably so that we can move Arlington Real Estate to another level in our success path.

Thank you.

Yours truly,

Judy Hubbard
