This is with regard to my application for the position in the Business Process Improvement Department at Home Depot for which the interview was conducted by your team recently. However this morning I have received an offer for a different role at a different organization and the recruiters are looking for my response at the earliest.

As the other offer of employment requires an early response and I have preference for the job at Home Depot, under such circumstances it is vital for me to know your decision about the hiring process that took place recently. Mam As you already know, being a recruiter that job markets these days are tough and it is highly competitive for jobs like one at Home Depot in Business Process Improvement Department. There I request you to please let me know your hiring decision regarding my application of employment with Home Depot so that I can decide and move on with the offer in hand although less preferable however better for not being employed/underemployed.
I would be obliged.
