These sentences are barely comprehensible.
Number one is a challenge. Did the company to which you had faxed your resume send you a phone, or did you mean to say someone from that company placed a phone call to you?
For the second, as a general rule it's best to avoid starting a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but, or or.
Here's how I would rewrite these:
1. On September 22, 2003, I received a phone call from the company to which I had faxed my resume earlier.
2. I looked forward to Tuesday (or whatever other day or date it was about which you were excited).

Q2: Sentence should not commence with 'and'.
I was looking forward to the coming day.

1. ... I got a phone call from a company where I had faxed my resume.
(Meaning: You received a telephone response. I am assuming that the company did not give you a phone. Another point, "to" at the end of a sentence is a hanging participle which is technically incorrect, but commonly used)
2. I had been looking forward to that date.
(Meaning: You were anticipating that call.")
That is my best guess about what you meant.

The first one just doesn't sound right. Don't end the sentence in "to". In the second one, I don't know what you are trying to say. It seems to me that you are either missing a "to" or a comma somewhere and the last two words are backwards.
Actually, you can start sentences with and but don't make it a habit.
I was looking forward to the coming day.
