　　Dear Manager，

　　I make bold to write this letter to you. One year ago I joined your firm as an apprentice， receiving $ 500 per month during the period of training. Now I became a full-time clerk afterwards for a few days， but my salary has remained the same. As the cost of living is rising， would you consider an increase of my salary？ I will not wonder too much but the same as other clerks in our firm. I pledge myself to continue to serve the firm to the best of my ability .

　　Many thanks

　　Yours faithfully，

　　Dear Mr. Carter，

　　As a new year comes across the corner， it gives us great pleasure to say how much we have appreciated working with you over the past twelve months. It was a good memory for me which I always kept in my mind. Would you be the same with me？ Last year was a wonderful year and we both got many benefits and progress from each other. I sincerely hope that our pleasant business relationship will continue for years to come.

　　Our staff here join me in wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

　　Yours sincerely，
