Quoting AllTooHuman: Why does it seem to me quite clear?  He asks you, preferably native English speakers, to prepare one minute oral speech asking your boss for a raise! That's all! Or not? |
Thats all? If I was writing such a letter I would include factors which would justify a raise. A knowledge of the situation and job is required.
The title of this post "help with...." is misleading. I would be delighted to help but feel rather reluctant to compose the ENTIRE letter without any effort whatsoever on the part of the sender!
If Tuncay87 would like to post a draft the letter I am sure there are many people, including myself, who would be more than happy to edit and proof read it.

oh aenigma you put it into words so much better.
i would also be willing to help out with corrections if tuncay87 posted a draft version in english here.
i would certainly not want to write it for him.
it's like me asking for native turkish speakers to write me a letter in turkish and then me passing it off as my own. i don't think that is appropriate.

I would open the conversation by saying " can I have a word with you, I need to talk to you about a pay rise"
There would be no speech, no beating around the bush, just straight to the point. If you have a good relationship with your boss why do you need a speech?? And even if you dont have a good relationship with your boss a speech sounds like you are crawling to him/her.
Just bite the bullet

Dearest Boss, (considering his mood and health conditions at the time of your speech)
Knowing how much you are concerned about us [give a shit about lazy bones, lol] and appreciate our work we do for you and the company, [esp. me, who always outperform ], I would kindly ask for raising my salary up to $$$. I believe I'll be even more faithful and devoted to my job [whatever it is] if you do this little favor for me!
Thank you for your consideration.
[And don't forget to pray before and after your speech or you'll be in the list of next "lay offffs" ]...
Boss will be pleased  
But seriously, why do you need this kinda speech? Smts it's better to submit it in a letter or so.
