I did research to get my raise. I am in the IT field, and did alot of research on how much people are being paid in my area, doing similar jobs, and also looked at things like, how the company was doing, and also whats the average raise for someone if my field, yearly.
I chalked this info into an email, as it was my yearly anniversary, and sent it to my manager. Generically said, I told them that I feel as though my skill set is valued, and our department has been a success with our product, and the average rate increase for people doing my job all over the country is 4.5% this year. I also let them know that our company has had a 39% increase in profit, and with the time I have there, was part of the increased productivity.
My manager was a dud, and was later laid off, but I did get the raise. She didn't argue, or make any excuses, as I think what I had researched showed that I was really wanting a raise. Your experience may vary, depending on the type of manager, or even owner, you have to deal with. In other jobs, asking the owner worked only 50% of the time, and with managers, it's worked 80% of the time now, just to give you an idea.
Good luck, it's not easy, and they love to say no -- just be straight, and have good evidence to backup why your worth 10cents or 10 bucks an hour more.

why would you ned a sample when you ask for a raise its for your own personal reasons therefore if you are asking for a raise you shouldnt need a sample. FOr example if i was asking for a raise i would start out by what you have contribed to the place i was working at and tell why you feel that you deserve a raise. Make sure you arent to forward and that you dont on to strong and demanding you kind want still ask for the raise but you want to make it more like you are sugesting a raise
