You may download, personalize and otherwise modify this free sample salary history

which is compatible with most word processors (such as Microsoft® Word) and
safe to download.
But first, please read the Important notice below, which includes
the download link.
Because of differences in the way that Web browsers and word processors display
pages, the format of the sample salary history letter displayed below differs
slightly from the download version created in a word processor.
If you copy and paste this sample salary history from your screen instead of
downloading it, the format might not stay intact.
This sample salary history letter is in a full-block style, business-letter
format. But when emailing it, it doesn't necessarily need to be quite as formally
formatted.
For example, you could delete the letterhead, date and recipient's address if
you want, because an email will automatically include informal equivalents. It's
a good idea to keep at least the salutation (Dear...) and complimentary
close (Sincerely...), but you can change them to your preference.

Dear [Recipient's name]:
This letter is in reply to your request for my salary history.
In lieu of providing my salary history at this time, may I first schedule
an interview to learn more about the job? I'd be happy to discuss my salary
toward the end of the interview. It is negotiable, depending on job duties
and benefits.
Thanks for contacting me. I hope to hear from you soon regarding an interview.
Meanwhile, if you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact
me. The best way to reach me is through my mobile phone, by dialing [area
code, number].
Sincerely,
