Message of Inquiry
“If you’re not advised of the interviewer’s decision by the promised date or within two weeks, you might make an inquiry.” (p.385)
Using the model for a direct request, write a message of inquiry to the company you have applied to and been interviewed at.
Note: This “Message of Inquiry” should be in email format. Be sure to include an appropriate Subject line.
(Do not use the wording of the sample letter in the book — Plagiarism)
