Dear _________________:
Thank you for the candor you showed during our recent conversation regarding my performance during the past year.
I am writing to let you know that in the areas in which I agree that I need work, I want to establish a plan for improvement immediately.
After thinking over our conversation, I have become clear on two major points. One, that it is extremely important to me to ultimately merit a promotion to the level of _________________. The second point is that in order to merit that promotion, I am going to have to make some significant changes in my _________________.
What I really need to know from you now is: What should I do? Where should I start?
I have a few ideas, such as _________________. However, I believe it would be foolish for me to implement these ideas without first checking with you. Do you think these are good ideas, or do you have different suggestions? I am very interested in specific ideas that might help me develop the _________________ that would lead me to the promotion I want.
Your feedback truly was useful to me, and I hope that you will follow up on our conversation by helping me develop an action plan that will help me get where I want to go.
Thanks for your encouragement and support.
Sincerely,
