word order - where to place *further* , *considering further*



As the closing sentence of a cover letter for an application I would like to write the sentence




I would appreciate your further considering my application and remain...





but is this correct, or should I rather place the word further differently?
The options are




  1. I would appreciate your considering my application further and remain...

  2. I would appreciate your considering further my application and remain...



Thank you in advance.


Answer




Since you said "ongoing", as an adjective, further could be used in the sense 'additional.'




The meeting ended without any plans for further discussions.




       I would appreciate your considering my application further.... 


In the same vein, you could use further in your sentence, however, in my opinion a better construction will be:





I would appreciate your further consideration of my application
or



As @Joe states, 'I appreciate your consideration of my application
