"looking forward to the pleasure of hearing from you."
I am, your obedient servant,
Joe Black.

Nothing wrong with it, as far as I know.

Daniel, this used to be the formal reply used in England for many years, especially in reply to correspondence from the Inland Revenue.Always good for a laugh.

Kitos.

Search Engine is used by people around the world that use internet no matter which country they are from.

Grammatically, LOOK FORWARD TO should be followed with NOUNS or GERUNDS (VERBS+ING). The meaning is WAITING WITH PLEASURE.

So, (in my opinion) conventionally, one should use: ... LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU or ... LOOK FORWARD TO THE CHANCE OF HEARING FROM YOU etc.

As far as I know, both variants " I'm looking forward to hearing from you" and "I look forward to hearing from you" are pretty much the same. As it was mentioned before, "I'm looking forward" is less formal and a bit warmer than "I look forward to". It is just like " I wonder" and "I'm wondering". "To look forward to" is to be followed by a gerund or a noun.

Why use ‘to hearing’ and not ‘to hear’? This is also very much connected to this discussion. best of luck, nanucbe
