When sending a follow-up email after receiving no response, it's important to remain clear, polite, and professional. Begin with a courteous greeting and reference your previous communication or application, including the date if possible. Reiterate your interest in the position and why you believe you are a good fit. Attach any relevant documents again, such as your resume, and politely request an update on the status of your application. Ensure the language is straightforward and concise, and avoid coming off as demanding or impatient. Always include your contact information to make it easy for the recipient to respond.
