Promotion Request Letter to CEO
Subject: Promotion request regarding [XYZ]
Dear Sir,
I hope you will be doing well. My name is Anderson, and I am honored to work with your esteemed organization. I want to bring it to your notice that I have been working as an assistant manager in the supply chain department for the last five years. Throughout this time, I worked honestly and with my full potential to achieve the organizational goals.
Due to my diligent work, I was also awarded the employee of the year award, 202X. Now, this is the time when I should send you my formal request for a higher position. I am an active employee, filled with a sense of accomplishment since the very first day of my joining. I believe that you must recommend my name for promotion.
As per the existing policy of the company, an employee is entitled to ask for a promotion after five years of continuous service. Moreover, my successful journey in this organization has provided me with enough ground for promotion. I have always proved my devotion through hard work. Whenever it was needed, I came up with innovative ideas and provided the best possible solutions to various problems being faced in the supply chain department. This is how I played my part in the success of the company.
I fulfilled the prescribed criteria to get a promotion. Moreover, based on my excellent service, knowledge, and qualifications, I request to promote to the rank of manager. I know this job role requires a great set of skills from me and I am confident enough to skillfully perform all the responsibilities entrusted to me. Rest assured, I have deeply observed the daily routines of the ex-manager and I fully understand the responsibilities associated with this post. If you promote me, I will prove myself the right choice.
I know that my promotion will render my position vacant, and I want to offer my help to make the transition process as smooth as possible. If you select any potential candidate, I will fully train him for the role of assistant manager. I would be thankful if you schedule my promotion interview as soon as possible.
Sincerely.
