In no uncertain terms

HOW TO ASK YOU BOSS FOR A SALARY INCREMENT...

This is one situation that all employees will encounter. He needs an increment in salary but agonises over how he is going to approach his boss about it.

Well, the following is an example of how the employee has gone about it and how his boss has responded. The employee decides against talking to the boss directly, since the subject can be a sensitive one. He decides to write to his boss and drop some strong hints.

One day an employee sends a letter to his boss asking for an increase in his salary!!!
