Sub: Letter for Increasing the Taxi rates because of fuel price

To: X-Taxi Inc.

I have been working as a taxi driver for X-Taxi (organization name) since I immigrated to this country for the past 4-8 years (More/less). I have had an excellent time working with X-Taxi (organization name) and I have never had a complaint until now. (Describe in your own words). My complaint does not involve the company itself, however, it involves the fuel prices and the effect it has on us drivers. (Explain the total situation and economic condition).

As you are well aware, fuel prices are the highest they have been in the last 5/10 years. There is nothing we can do about that, however, it only makes sense that, in turn, the taxi rates should also increase. (Explain the actual problem and situation). We spend more and more on fuel but we are still making the same amount we made when we first started. I do not believe this is fair.

As a result, I respectfully ask that the taxi prices be raised as it is getting harder and harder to earn a living wage due to the amount we are spending on fuel. (describe your requirements).

Many thanks,
