In Conditionals^x, Tenses^x, Present perfect^x

Hi :)I am typing a formal letter and I am confused as to which tense I should use:"We look forward to receiving your confirmation that the application is / has been withdrawn."I am also confused about the structure - is it considered some kind of reported speech, or conditionals, or...

No dear it is not conditional here. It is just a tense, past perfect. But I really don't understand why it is past perfect bu not present perfect.
