Honesty and integrity are important to an employer (just as they are important to you). So, just write what you have written here; that you have other offers, that you would really like to work for them, but you have a time constraint for making a decision and you would appreciate an earlier interview if possible. Be sure to tell them WHY you would prefer them. And, be sure to thank them for taking the time to consider your unusual situation.
Best wishes and good luck.

There is no polite way to write a letter asking about the status of your application. It's just putting unnecessary stress on the interviewer or HR manager. And honestly, it's so pushy that it could cost you the job. Instead, you should write a thank-you letter to the person who interviewed you. Write it on a nice note card and send it in the mail. Don't send an email- they're impersonal.
In the meantime, accept one of the jobs you've been offered and see if you can delay the start date. Tell them that you've got to give your current boss two weeks notice. If that's not possible, lie and say you're going to a family wedding and won't be back for a week. If you say that, make sure that you don't run into the interviewer around town!

First, never let them see you sweat. You can't pressure them to make a decision. All you can do is thank them for the time they spent in your interview and try to come up with reasons why they should choose you. For example, did you forget to mention some sales goal that you exceeded in record time at you last/current job? Did you read an article about the company recently? If so you might want to mention that you enjoyed it, letting them know you do your "homework". If you need to take a job immediately, don't put all your hopes on something that may never materialize (the old "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" theory). It might be worthwhile to take one of the other jobs and let the one you want go. Then send them a letter telling them that you hope that in the future you may be able to work for their company, after you have gained more experience.
