Concluding a letter requesting information

Question

Hi!

I am writing for information to a company in Guatemala and I want to conclude by saying "Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you soon." Is that polite? Could I say "Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you soon?" or "Thank you very much and I hope to receive your reply soon." How would I say any one of these phrases? Thanks!

Answer 1

I agree with Paco. "Atentamente" is a polite way to close a business letter.

You can add as the closing sentence all of what you indicate in your post for example:

"Thank you very much and I hope to receive your reply soon."

Muchas gracias y espero recibir su respuesta pronto.

A t e n t a m e n t e.

John Doe.

I would use:

Thank you in advance and I hope to receive your reply as soon as posible

Agradezco de antemano y espero recibir su respuesta a la brevedad posible.

A t e n t a m e n t e.

John Doe

Answer 2

" Atentamente" is the most usual for a buisness letter,at least in México. It is polite and to the point.

Answer 3

Muchas gracias. No matter how politely you try to phrase it the rest of the sentence is telling them to "hurry up" which assumes that they are not going to try to send you a reply as soon as possible which is not a "polite" assumption.

However, there are many despedidas (farewells) like: Saludos y espero tu respuesta..

Answer 4

¡Muchas gracias a todos!
