Default Re: official letter

Who are you writing to? If you're writing to a native speaker, I think the tone is wrong. If it's a native speaker, I'd just write:

Dear ...,
I am writing to enquire about the settlement of my family status which I requested (date of earlier letter), and to ask whether this could be settled at your earliest convenience.

Thanking you in advance, I look forward to hearing from you.
