I would like to know if you are still considering me for an interview, an estimate date when it would begin or if there is something else that is holding you back.
Your response would be much appreciated. Please find attached my resume for your kind perusal and get back to me as soon as you can. You can also call me on the above number for any further update.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
