How should you structure a message of inquiry after an interview has taken place?

 If you're not advised of the interviewer's decision by the promised date or within two weeks, you might make an inquiry. A message of inquiry (which can be handled by email if the interviewer has given you his or her email address) is particularly appropriate if you've received a job offer from a second firm and don't want to accept it before you have an answer from the first. Using the general model for a direct request, you should begin by identifying the position and introducing the main idea. The reason for the request should follow immediately. The last section should make a courteous request for the specific action (a decision) while clearly stating a preference for this organization.

Such a godsend, you helped me and my friend big time
