Maybe template is the wrong word. It is meant to be a loose outline of what you could say. A starting point with some advice. Every situation is unique.
Also, this email should function as the invitation to have a discussion. Finding the right time and way to ask for a raise can be difficult and stressful. Using an email to start things up can take the pressure off.
