How to ask for a raise in email

The situation

You've been outperforming your role for a year and haven't been offered a raise.

The goal

Open a compensation conversation with confidence and evidence.

Draft (the wrong way)

I was wondering if maybe we could possibly talk about my salary at some point if that's okay?

Parse-optimized draft

I'd like to schedule 20 minutes this week to review my compensation. Over the last 12 months I've owned [X, Y, Z] and delivered [measurable outcome]. Based on that scope, I'd like to discuss adjusting my salary to reflect the role I'm now performing.
