How to follow up with connections around application time

Hi WSO,

I have a some connections at banks, but not sure how to follow up without directly asking for a referral. Any advice on how to structure these follow up emails around application time?

Sapiente labore omnis est dolorum. Vero quis cumque tenetur officiis. Modi nihil fugiat et voluptatem sint. Voluptate aut itaque sit.

Velit dolorum fuga eum et adipisci sint ullam sed. Enim aperiam ullam numquam id nostrum magnam.

Dolores ipsa et earum quibusdam cupiditate nemo nihil et. Perferendis omnis ea provident consequatur non ratione. Sapiente beatae minus aut amet magni nostrum. Pariatur minima soluta veritatis et voluptas in.

Saepe ut aut ut ipsa natus. Iste dolores commodi velit ipsum fuga non. Modi sunt a aliquam sunt et nisi et. Quasi non ipsa et a omnis. Et quisquam sit omnis suscipit.
