You can talk about changing hours you don't need to write a letter. As for your salary if you can make a good case for being worth more than you are getting and get some information to back it up you can request a raise. If you don't get it you can quit.

I have been in this situation, and stewed over it for weeks before doing anything about it.
I recommend instead that you take action fairly soon, rather than waiting until you are really stressed about the whole thing.
Whatever you do, don't insult the boss or come across aggressively!
I agree that looking at other positions would be a good idea so that if the axe falls on you, you will have a Plan B!
Bosses don't like to hear complaints and they may use this as excuse to get rid of you.
I approached my boss in person and spoke to him, saying that I wanted more of a challenge, and he assured me that a new position would open up soon.
However, I got tired of waiting for this as it never eventuated, and instead I went to University, got a degree, and eventually another much better career!
Best of luck!! xx

If you are a hard worker and you are honest I would approach the boss in a well manner and ask for a raise it won't hurt the worse thing he can say is no. But if you don't ask you will never know. I now work from home to be with my family and I am my own boss and I get to choose my salary based on how hard I work. Have you ever considered a homebased business. Contact me if you are interested. I hope this helps;)

shop yourself around and get the better deal elsewhere first and begin to give your notice, but give them an opportunity to match it. If you try this and they say no you will be miserable at that job for as long as you have it. so you really do need the back up plan for real
Instead why not go to HR and ask about cross training opportunities and better positions in the rest of the company?
Shows initiative and an interest in the company. Can't hurt and you don't have to tip your hand right away about the salary issue. They will know you want more money anyway because everyone does. But they will also see you are willing to earn it. INITIATIVE PAYS

If you feel the only way to communicate with him is via a letter, then you might as well look for another job.
