going. He composes a first draft, but he knows that he will need to make some revisions.

To Whom It May Concern:

My interview last week was enjoyable. Thank you. I am still interested in the job. In

fact, I really, really need a job in the next week. I haven’t heard anything from you or
the human resources representative, and I am wondering what the holdup is. I’m very
eager to know your decision, so if you could hurry things up, I would greatly

appreciate it. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Enrique Heller
