Thank you note poscript translation question

P.D. Espero que su oficina en Tampa le hizo llegar mi nota de profundo agradecimiento por sus atenciones para conmigo - las cuales espero poderle ser reciproco

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I am thanking a gentleman with whom I had a phone interview, and a friend of mine who is a native Spanish speaker is helping me craft the thank you note. The first part I take as meaning roughly, "I hope that your office in Tampa forwarded my note of deep appreciation for the attention you've shown me" - though I am having trouble wrapping my head around what my friend is trying to say with the ending part after the hyphen. Is he saying that "I hope my feelings of profound appreciation are reciprocated"? This isn't something I would say in English. Now I would be profoundly grateful if someone would help me to understand the meaning behind the words of the last part of the postscript.

Thanks!

"Which I hope I can do for you," loosely

I am having trouble "wrapping my head around" the first part as well. You might try it this way:

"P.D. Espero que su oficina en Tampa haya reenviado mi nota de profundo agradecimiento por sus atenciones conmigo - por las cuales espero poderle reciprocar."

Is he saying that "I hope my feelings of profound appreciation are reciprocated"?

In a matter of speaking, he is saying "your attention that I hope I can reciprocate." (Jay8326 is correct here)
