Just put on a mail first. Hi, [their name]. I love working for [company name], and I'm excited about the future of our team. As you know, we're a small group of passionate people who take pride in our work, and I'm grateful to be part of this family. As you also know, inflation rates are rising, and it's becoming more difficult for me to keep up with my basic needs. I've been here for three years now, and I believe that my skills have grown considerably since joining the company. With this in mind, I'd like to ask that you consider matching the inflation rate moving forward, starting from next year. I'm aware that you already gave us a raise this year. However, as you mentioned at the time, that raise was based on performance reviews and not pre-emptive of future rates. I understand that it's difficult for companies to predict economic trends—but as a small business, I think we can both agree that flexibility is one of our greatest strengths! Don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything else I can help with in terms of making the case for an increase.
