You know you've earned it, but writing the actual email is a different problem — it either comes out too timid or too aggressive, and you end up rewriting it ten times. You don't need to be a great writer to ask for what you deserve.

Hi [Name], I'd like to talk about my compensation. Over the past two years I've taken on more responsibility and delivered solid results for the team. I believe it's a fair time to revisit my salary based on that. Could we set up time this week to discuss it?
Hi [Name], could we find some time to discuss my salary? Over the past couple of years my role has grown, and I'd like to review whether an adjustment makes sense given that growth. Let me know what works for your schedule.
Hi [Name], hope you're doing well. I wanted to ask if we could chat at some point about my current salary. After two years here, I'd love to understand how raises are typically evaluated and whether now might be a good time to review mine. Thanks for your time.
