Learn English – Is the future continuous correct here? ‘I’ll be waiting for her response.’

Here is a context : I wrote an email with request to person A, but she hasn't replied. So, I decided to ask the same person B. Person B replied that she can't help and I should ask person A.

Now I want to reply to person B. Is it ok ( both polite and formal ) ?

I wrote to A few days ago, but she hasn't replied. I'll be waiting for her response. Thank you anyway.

Especially, I am not sure whether use of future continuous is correct and if it is polite enough.

Best Answer

"I am waiting for her response" or "I am waiting on her response" or "I await her response" could all be used. The best option is probably the middle one.

You also dont need to mention that she has not replied AND that you are waiting on her response as either sentence implies the other. This is grammatically acceptable but it is called tautology or redundancy. Essentially you are saying the same information twice needlessly.
