The employee,

Company, USA.

Subject--freezing of pay with no hike in salary for the coming year.

Dear (name),

I am sorry to inform you that the mangement staff and the employer of this company has taken an important decision of not to hike the salary of an employee irrespective of application forwarded by the employee. The management staff of the company is not satisfied with the performance of the employee in the current year due to which the output and productivity of the company has decreased. Company knows the importance of the work performed by this employee in the previous years and maagement assures that this employee can continue to work without any form of incentives and salary hike in the current year. This is a result of a 10% dive in the past 6 months of the company shares. I hope and wish the employee luck in the near future so that company may attain profit in the next quarter.
