Asking for a raise — by email

You want to write your manager and ask for a salary review without sounding entitled or apologetic. Brief an AI to draft it.

Difficulty: Starter · Genre: Email

The scenario

You: senior product designer, 3 years at the company, last raise was 18 months ago.
Manager: friendly but always behind on email — opens long messages once a week.
Market: similar roles in your city pay 12-18% more right now.

The goal

An AI should produce a polite, confident 6-8-line email that names the raise ask, the value you've delivered, and a concrete number — without sounding aggressive or apologetic.

What a strong brief covers

Strong prompts mention: the role + tenure, 1-2 specific wins, a market data point, the exact ask (percentage or salary), the desired tone (warm, direct, not pleading), and the email length.
