There is basically only one way you're likely to get your grade changed, which is if the professor made a mistake. That does happen sometimes - I once corrected a grade under circumstances similar to what you're describing - but it's unusual.
You want to write a short message pointing out that
- you think your average is 94
- you got an A-
and then ask what the cut-off was for an A in this course.
And - and this is important - that's it. Do not:

The prof did not mention his grading scale in this syllabus. I got A- with 94. The School usually set the A scale to be at 93. But the professors always have the right to set his own standards (e.g. curves).
I am currently writing for a better grade. Shall I attach a university's recommended grading scale as attachment? Is it a good idea to mention that some big companys are only looking at straight A average?
Could you please let me know how to ask for a better grade?
Thank you so much. You are always helpful. Any comments are welcome.
