    Use it as a message to your manager or as notes for the conversation.

An example

Why are you ready?

want senior analyst leading 2 projects since march, the vendor review and the new reporting dashboard mentoring 3 juniors want to talk about it at my review

Your email

Hi Dana, I'd like to talk about moving into a Senior Analyst role at my review. Since March I've been leading two projects, the vendor review and the new reporting dashboard, and I've been mentoring three of our junior analysts. That's much of what I understand the senior role to involve, and I've enjoyed it. Could we set aside some time in the review to discuss it? I'd also welcome your view on anything you'd want to see from me first. Thanks, [Your name]
