Letter

Dear Nicole,

I am writing to you about meeting on September 21st where we discussed the vacancy for a project manager.

First of all, thank you for your time. It was a good, professional interview.

I want you to know that I'm still looking for a job, so I'm interested in the result of our interview. Intel is a desirable employer for me. I have been following your team for a long time and would be happy to be a part of it. Many of my business partners and acquaintances with whom I became acquainted with at various professional conferences work at Intel.

However, I continue to search for work and today I got an offer from another company. Despite this, I am more interested in working for Intel. Before accepting their offer could you let me know if I am still being considered for the vacancy.

I will be glad if you decide that I fit the requirements for the position and you are ready to see me as a member of your team. Under the circumstances I ask you to answer me as soon as possible.

With regards,

Slava
