PhrasesAsking for a RaiseInvierò la mia richiesta anche per iscritto, se lo ritiene utile.
B1formal

Invierò la mia richiesta anche per iscritto, se lo ritiene utile.

I will also send my request in writing, if you find it useful.

Pronunciation

'Iscritto' = is-CRIT-to; stress on the second syllable; 'sc' before 'r' is unvoiced.

When to use it

Use after a verbal salary discussion to formalise the request and create a record, particularly useful in larger companies with formal HR processes.

What it means

A written request ('richiesta scritta') creates an official record. In Italy, putting things in writing ('mettere per iscritto') is a sign of seriousness. It also prevents the manager from claiming the conversation never happened. Email is perfectly acceptable for this purpose.

Variations

Le mando una email riepilogativa di quanto discusso.

I will send you a summary email of what was discussed.

Follow-up email after verbal discussion

Posso formalizzare la richiesta attraverso i canali HR?

Can I formalise the request through HR channels?

For companies with formal HR processes

Le lascio un documento scritto con i miei dati e la mia richiesta.

I will leave you a written document with my data and my request.

Printed document approach; old-fashioned but still used in traditional companies

Mini Dialogue

«Grazie per la conversazione. Ci penserò e le farò sapere.» «Perfetto. Invierò anche la mia richiesta per iscritto, con i dati che le ho mostrato oggi, così ha tutto a portata di mano quando ne discuterà internamente.»

"Thank you for the conversation. I will think about it and let you know." "Perfect. I will also send my request in writing, with the data I showed you today, so you have everything at hand when you discuss it internally."

Cultural Note

In Italian companies, a manager often needs to justify a salary increase to their own manager or to the owner. Providing a written summary with data makes their job easier and increases the likelihood of approval — you are helping them make the case for you.
