Dear (Recipient name):

I was glad to receive your letter regarding my recent application for the position of a mechanical engineer. In response to your request for my salary history and expectations, I would like to offer the following information. Throughout my 5 years as a mechanical engineer, I have regularly been rewarded with merit- based raises, bonuses, and other benefits.

My salary for the new position is negotiable and depends upon the job responsibilities and the complete compensation package. However, I would like to make it clear that the lowest monthly salary I can accept is $4,000.

If you have additional questions regarding my salary expectations, please call me at my number.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
