Sub: Refusal of Request for Salary Enhancement .
Dear [Employee Name],
We are writing in response to your letter dated ………………… for a salary raise. Upon evaluating your records it appears that you have made a great progress in performance during your last [insert months] months’ tenure. However, the management thinks that a salary raise at this point shall violate the company’s existing policy. As per our organizational policy the salary of an employee can only be enhanced after [insert months] monts' of probationary period. Therefore, in your case the request for a salary raise is premature.
Under the above circumstance, we would request you to apply again after expiration of your [insert months] months’ probationary period. Please do not take this decision otherwise and keep up the good work.
Best Regards,
