Introduction
It must be borne in mind that Promotion per se is not a birthright of an employee but is a privilege of the employer dependent on many factors other than merit of the employee.
However, when an employee feels that his claims to well deserved promotion have been overlooked and his juniors promoted, it may not be out of place to address a polite letter to his employer reminding him about the matter on the following lines :-
From:
Mr. /Ms ……………. (Full Name)
