Sent salary negotiation letter, no response after 5+ weeks.

I sent in a salary negotiation letter to my boss over 5 weeks ago. In it I talked about since I was hired I’ve had more and more duties delegated to me, and even more are expected on the horizon. No full response in over a month, and only a few mentions of it. Most recently, a short “I haven’t forgot about this” email. So how do I handle it? I feel dumb having to remind one of the highest ranking individuals in the company how to do their job. I’m one of his only few direct reports, and I don’t think I’m asking for an overly generous increase in pay.
