Commendation and Refusal of Request for Raise

Dear,

This is to acknowledge your letter of (date)
You are definitely to be commended for your progress
during the past two months.
* acknowledge = 인정하다/ commend = 칭찬하다

I do believe, however, that your recent request for a
raise is premature. I would suggest that it would be
more appropriate to discuss a salary increase after you
have worked here for six months. If you continue on
the same path, I am certain that your timely request
will be given careful consideration.
* premature = 예상보다 이른/ appropriate = 적절한
* timely = 시기적절한/ consideration = 사려; 배려

You are doing a fine job, keep up the good work! 
* keep up = ~을 계속하다
