You want to say thanks for the interview and ask about the job application status. Write a formal letter to the person who interviewed you.

Follow these guidelines:

Write your address in the top right corner of the page.

Leave a space and write the date just below your address.

On the left side, write the recipient's address, including the company's name, city, and ZIP code (you can make this up)

Opening: tell your name, why you are writing,  when you had the job interview,  and what you want to know

Body paragraph 1: Ask about the status of your job application and when you can expect a response.

Body paragraph 2: Mention why you are  interested in the job and the company.

Closing paragraph: summarize your letter, thank the reader for their time and what you expect from the reader

Work on your letter

Every sentence ends with a full stop (.)
Every sentence starts with a capital letter.

Make sure all the information is in the letter.
