I have to agree with what everyone else says. As a part time manager at your local high-speed cholesterol distribution center, I always advise my employees NOT to give the upper-ups an ultimatum when asking for a raise or promotion. The best way to not get a raise is to give your boss an "or else"

Like everyone else said, have a good solid argument for why you deserve the raise, and don't be afraid to be blunt. Say flat out "I think I deserve a raise." Don't beat around the bush, that will get you nowhere. If you go in saying you think you've done a really good job and say why, but don't say you want a raise, he (or she) isn't going to offer you the raise after hearing this.

Good Luck
