Either we have to say waiting for or awaiting. This is actually correct.

The actual meaning for awaiting is waiting for.

But there is a difference between the usage of both the letters.
For the usage of awaiting an object is not necessary. i.e I am awaiting you.
For the usage of waiting there should be an object.

Awaiting means wait for so avoid for.
